    But cups-client 1.6 or greater (latest = 2.2.3-3) on AIX 6.1 7.1 or 7.2 is not working.
    => latency of about 10 minutes with /usr/linux/bin/lpstat -v 
    /usr/linux/bin/lp -d .... results in a abort status on cups server.

    Can anyone advice ?

    From where did you get cups for AIX ? I do not see from AIX toolbox we have released 1.5.4

    Also what is the current version of cups you are running that is giving you the issue and from where did you acquire it ?

    Hi

     

    I tried all versions available on AIX Toolbox on AIX versions 61 71 and 72.
    All this versions have the same latency problem.

     

    So because i hav other systems with older versions which do not have this problem i went back in versions.
    However AIX Toolbox does not show a complete history of versions
    Older rpm versions are comming from oss4aix (http://www.perzl.org/aix/). they are intended to be 100pct compatible with AIX Toolbox.

    We will look into this issue. We have not done such testing. 

     

    The easiest way to get all versions of a package is using yum

    # yum --showduplicates list <package-name>

    eg.

    # yum --showduplicates list cups
    Loaded plugins: downloadonly
    Available Packages
    cups.ppc                                                                 2.0.2-1                                                                 AIX_Toolbox
    cups.ppc                                                                 2.0.2-2                                                                 AIX_Toolbox
    cups.ppc                                                                 2.2.3-2                                                                 AIX_Toolbox
    cups.ppc                                                                 2.2.3-3                                                                 AIX_Toolbox
    #

     

    The other way is you can get by going into the dir of the package from where you download it. 

    For example if you see cups on toolbox site it gets download from following location

    https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/cups/cups-2.2.3-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm

     

    And if you go into https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/cups/ you will get all previous versions of cups from AIX toolbox.

  • 7.  RE: cups client latency

    Posted Tue November 29, 2022 11:26 AM
    Is there any development on current version(s)?

    On 7200-05-04-2220  with

    cups-client-2.2.3-3.ppc
    cups-libs-2.2.3-3.ppc

    I can't manage to print something with CUPS-CLI commands via a CUPS-Server on Linux:

    /opt/freeware/bin/lp -h <cupsserver> -d <queue on cupsserver>   results in:
    ./lp: Forbidden

    Is it required to install cups-server binaries as well? Even, if they are not needed?

    Any help appreciated!

    There is currently no plan to update cups. 
    We recommend the users to use AIX native printing instead (bos.rte.printers)
