Hi,

Mousepad and others apps that use a2ps (Xfprint with cups backend) can't print ("full" install).

darkstar% mousepad

** (xfprint4:8419): WARNING **: Unable to load printing system module cups_plugin.so
a2ps: cannot find file `c0419bt_.afm': No such file or directory

The cups_plugin.so file is there :

Code: Select all

root@darkstar:~# locate cups_plugin.so
/usr/lib/xfce4/xfprint-plugins/cups_plugin.so

Reading that :
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions ... ry-715538/
I have checked the a2ps config file (/etc/a2ps.cfg), the library path seems ok :

Code: Select all

# Default path where a2ps dropped its library files.
LibraryPath: /usr/share/a2ps/sheets:/usr/share/a2ps/ps:/usr/share/a2ps/encoding:/usr/share/a2ps/afm:/usr/share/ogonkify/afm:/usr/share/a2ps/ppd:/usr/share/a2ps/fonts:/usr/share/ogonkify/fonts:/usr/share/a2ps:/usr/share/fonts/Type1

So c0419bt_.afm is not in /usr/share/fonts/Type1. Some fonts are missing, just have to dig to find in which fonts package this file have to be in.

I feared that there might be something useful in all those fonts we didn't include in the iso. The font you're looking for is in the font-bitstream-type1 package. Please try and tell me if it works. It will be included in the next iso (whenever that comes).

Yes you got it --> Fixed.
Thanks.
