Epson L6460 printer issues (was: Unable to find LSB package)

Again, why are you installing a Linux package on FreeBSD?

You do realize FreeBSD is not Linux?
 
OP could read the FreeBSD Handbook, it has a section on installing CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System)... that would help with installing the printer.
 
Hi

Following: http://www.freebsddiary.org/apsfilter.php, to set-up printer.

make install output can be found:



After setting: portmaster -m MAKE_JOB_UNSAFE=YES ends in:
Code: 
===>>> Currently installed version: curl-7.87.0
===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/ftp/curl

    ===>>> This port is marked IGNORE
    ===>>> only supports TLS-SRP with either OpenSSL or GnuTLS


    ===>>> If you are sure you can build it, remove the
           IGNORE line in the Makefile and try again.

===>>> Update for curl-7.87.0 failed
===>>> Aborting update

===>>> Update for rust-1.66.0 failed
===>>> Aborting update

===>>> Update for librsvg2-rust-2.54.5_3 failed

So, you're using LibreSSL? Then add ftp_curl_UNSET+= TLS_SRP to your /etc/make.conf.

I'd discourage using portmaster. It was an early attempt at automating the ports compilation. Yeah, it's still in ports, but has rather serious limitations compared to just make or poudriere.

Same error even after setting the icode provided by you!

cups & cups-filters recent versions already installed! Also, my printer is not listed in open printing.
 
rraj either you did something wrong (in this case show exactly what you did please) ... or you have interactively configured port options for curl overriding that (in this case remove /var/db/ports/ftp_curl/options, or run interactive config again and disable TLS_SRP).
 
BTW, regarding LibreSSL in general: It's supported in FreeBSD's ports tree, yes, but it's a constant battle getting it to work correctly .... for, "reasons" ... :(

I'm counting myself to those often trying to iron out new issues with LibreSSL in the tree when I stumble across them. Still, I'd really recommend to stick to base OpenSSL unless you have some experience building ports and solving issues you run into. Here, all that's needed is disabling a port option. It's often much worse...

Hi Zirias

removed options - make install output has changed & can be found here.
Code: 
===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/net/netatalk

    ===>>> This port is marked IGNORE
    ===>>> is marked as broken on FreeBSD 12.3: does not build, OpenSSL 1.1 unsupported


    ===>>> If you are sure you can build it, remove the
           IGNORE line in the Makefile and try again.

===>>> Update for net/netatalk failed
===>>> Aborting update

Thanks

That's just a single line, no idea what to do with that 🤷‍♂️

IMHO, see my post above. Use base OpenSSL for now. Collect some experience and knowledge about building ports. Once you have that, you might consider LibreSSL again....
 
Am I missing something here?

Building ftp/curl gives errors. Very good, ok. On the other hand

https://termbin.com/enym8 says ===> Staging for apsfilter-7.2.8_21

but there is no print/apsfilter port in the current ports tree. It expired and was removed on 2018-09-30:

ports - FreeBSD ports tree

cgit.freebsd.org cgit.freebsd.org

rraj, are you trying to build from a old ports tree or are you using a current ports tree with print/apsfilter overlayed?
 
Oh wow, seems the problem goes much deeper!

How about taking a huge leap back: Tell us the exact printer you want to use.
 
I wanted to ask exactly the same. Please tell us which printer you have so we can suggest supported print filter, if possible.

Not sure which ports tree!

One good way to find out is to figure out is to cd /usr/ports , then cat CHANGES | less , that will reveal the date of your ports tree. Not a very precise method, but gives a good ballpark of how recent the tree is.

Frankly, using the latest port tree is your best bet. All you have to do is:
Code: 
# cd /usr/ports/print/cups
# make && make install

And let dependency resolution handle the rest.

Once CUPS is installed, check out this page to see if your printer has a supported driver in CUPS: https://www.openprinting.org/drivers/

Does it require any further configuration for eg: printing from OpenOffice?
Click to expand...
I don't know this specific driver, but normally they are just filter programs called by cups that don't require any configuration themselves. Also, it doesn't matter from "where" you want to print.

What you HAVE to do of course is install and configure cups itself. To configure a printer with cups, you'd typically just use the web-interface that's by default available on localhost:631.
