Jade cup, Czechia, early 1600s AD

🖨️

My new printer stopped working under #LinuxMint the other day. Re-adding it resulted in a general error message.

Finally found the solution:

In the printer's "location" field, I had specified "Mein Büro" ("My office" in German). And Cups does not like umlauts in that field. 😶

After removing the "ü", the printer worked.

Maybe this information will be helpful to someone, at some point. 🙂

So about the #Kyocera #CUPS driver needing insecure #pypdf3 situation:

I guess this is not only a #NixOS problem but concerns anyone wanting to use their Kyocera printer on Linux. I understand that pypdf3 is deprecated and one should use just pypdf, but the kyocera driver is proprietary, so how would one fix that? 🤔

I guess Kyocera themselves don't care whatsoever...
