I wanted to know if it's possible to print a "shell" of a folder. I dont know how to exactly explain it, so I'll just explain what I want to do. Essentially, I want to retain the folder hierarchy in my music folder without the individual files, and print it to a file or something. I eventually would like to be able to read the output into a database.

I need to setup a network scanner which will scan to a folder via the network onto an Ubuntu pc. When the file is scanned I need the Ubuntu pc to automatically print the file to the default printer and then deletes the scanned file.
I haven't been using Ubuntu very long and was not sure how to achieve this. I was wondering if perhaps I should write a script, after learning how to, that checks the folder for any files and then prints them. Once printed it then deletes the files. Would I need to have this script running via a scheduler that runs the script every second? Or is there another way to achieve this?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there would be a way for me to copy the contents of a shared folder that's running on an XP system using shell script. Actually, there are two shared folders that I want to do this with. I want to be able to launch the script and automatically copy all the contents of each folder into two separate folders on my ubuntu desktop. For example;
Lets say that I have Shared Folders A1 and A2 on my networked XP system and I have Folders B1 and B2 on my Ubuntu desktop. I want the script to automatically copy the contents of A1 into B1 and likewise for A2 and B2. During the copying, I want the script set up such that any pre-existing files in the B1 & B2 folders will automatically get overwritten by the ones copied from A1 & A2.Is there any possibilities of me achieving this?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI initially had a problem accessing the CUPS interface (see my other post) and got that resolved by adding the user "cupsys". Now, everything "looks" ok, and when I print a test page, it shows it as completed (in CUPS). However, the page never prints.
The printer is a Canon MP600 (using the canonmp600en.ppd file to configure it). Here's the output of my conf file.

Interesting problem: For the first time with Xubuntu 10.10 64bit, I am finding certain applications print corrupt. A varying amount of letters / numbers either get substituted/print a blank space/ print a box etc etc. This corruption seems to happen from a Pdf ( evince ) or Spreadheet ( Gnumeric ) Opening the same Pdf on another machine (ubuntu 10.10 32bit) prints perfectly. Opening the same .xls file on the original computer but using OOo Calc prints perfectly.
I guess I have ruled out any problems with the printer itself or the network JetDirect box. I have re-installed CUPS and evince and upgraded to the latest version of HPLIP but the problem appears unchanged.
I cannot print pdf files. I have tried using okular and xpdf. The documents display in the program, but print preview shows a blank page. The printer then sends out blank pages. I have tried printing on 2 different printers using usb cables. Using terminal to process the commands shows error:
Quote:
xxx@xxx:~$ xpdf
***** MediaBox = ll:0,0 ur:611.976,791.968
***** CropBox = ll:0,0 ur:611.976,791.968
***** Rotate = 0
Segmentation fault
Converting to .ps also is blank.
My wife has a canon MP470 printer and running ubuntu 10.10. I am able to print black and white, but unable to print photos. I got it to work using another driver, but not the 'correct' one for this printer. I have searched a bit and don't see anything about ubuntu 10.10, just older versions. Or should I just network her to my printer....?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm running Kubuntu 10.10 with a Laserjet 5M printer. When I attempt to print a job from Firefox or from Okular, the job never gets onto the print queue. However, I can print test pages on the printer and also print from OpenOffice, so this seems to be app-dependent. I know the jobs aren't being queued because the job number doesn't increase (as shown by the jobs for the test pages). Both Firefox and Ocular give every indication that the print job has been processed correctly.
View 1 Replies View RelatedNot sure when CUPS started acting up. I have the latest 13.1 current software installed.The first page to print is always OK, but all succeeding pages are overwritten. The second page shows the first page on top of it, and the third shows the preceding pages on top of it - and so on. Has anyone else seen this problem?I guess the printer buffer is not getting flushed correctly. If my configurations were trashed in some way, I don't know where to look for a fix.
View 14 Replies View RelatedHow can I combine multiple single page prints into a single print job? For example, using Firefox on Linux one can print a web page such that each sheet of paper has four pages printed upon it. I would like to combine several separate web pages so that for example, web-page-a, web-page-b and web-page-c (each less than one print page long) are printed on a single sheet of paper.
I would like to do this without having to use some form of image editor to combine and manage manually created temporary files.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've just installed OpenSUSE 11.2 with KDE via DVD. I've checked media for errors. Installation went fine and so far the OS is great and is pleasing me better than Kubuntu.
Except for printing.
I have an Epson Printer plugged in a Wireless router via LPD wich always worked fine. In 11.2 I installed the printer and, on first printing, I noticed I got no tray icon. I had to go to CUPS to manage printing. I got an error in one of the prints. I canceled it in CUPS, but after that I was unable to print again. I always got an LPD backend error. I had to turn it physically off and on to get it to work again.
With Kubuntu I installed the printer via KDE manager and I always managed print jobs without a problem. I never had to touch the printer - except to get the jobs, of course
So,
1) How do I get a systray icon for my printing jobs? Is it possible to manage print jobs without going to CUPS?
2) Why is it choking like that? Is it just with me?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI can print normal pages, letter size, default normal output settings. When I try to do any kind of photo printing from any application, Digikam, Konqueror (3 or 4), Dolphin, Gwenview, Gimp, where I have set specific page size and output for photo settings, nothing prints, the job dies.
Finally by using the kdeprint3 subsystem I was able to see the error, the print system in kde4 shows no helpful info in the printer applet. The message reported is '/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster failed'.
I am running the default cups printer system that came with the standard 11.3 install and standard repositories.
A couple of weeks ago I installed openSUSE 11.3/KDE 4.4.4 over openSUSE 11.0/KDE 3.5. It went well except for what turned out to be a glitch with the KDE default Plasma Desktop Workspace, which prevented the system from shutting down (the screen would go blank and then nothing would happen). Changing the Activity in the Desktop Settings to Folder View got rid of the glitch, returning everything to normal.
The printer icon/widget is now a question mark "?." I can't say for certain when this happened.Clicking on the widget produces the message, "KDEint could not launch 'opt/kde3/bin/startprint'."The command for the widget is 'opt/kde3/bin/startprint %U'.The file opt/kde3/bin/startprint no longer exists.What additional information, if any, might be needed, and what can be done to get this widget working again?

I must have done something while wandering through the CUPS web interface but I cannot say what it was. Nevertheless, now I must enter a password every time I print a document.
I have a fresh install of 11.3 KDE 4.4 and am trying to set it up to print via CUPS over the network. The printer tests OK from the YAST set up page and will print fine using OO. The HPLIP icon is showing in the system tray.
When I try to print from Firefox the printer is never discovered and Firefox quits responding so does Thunderbird when you try to print an email. Kwin pops up a message about terminating the application which you have to accept. Konqueror just locks up when you try and print from it and you are forced to kill the application.
Printing works perfectly on the Host machine regardless of the application used.
This is a real showstopper here. It's the wife's new machine and she must be able to print from Firefox and Thunderbird.
The Espon printer CX8400 does not print, it only splits out paper in suse 11.1.
