TurboPrint & PrintFab

OK

I nuked everything and reinstalled

sudo dnf remove turboprint
sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/turboprint
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/turboprint
sudo rm -rf ~/.turboprint

I installed the license key

Now I seem to have a different problem where I can't find the network printer in turboprint (but I can add ...

Where is the key file supposed to be installed? I tried /usr/lib/turboprint/keyfile but don't see it in there?

Could there be a permissions issue?

rbrown@fedora:/usr/lib/turboprint$ ls
95turboprint_monitor kde3applet tpfilter
appindicator kde41applet tpfilterraw
bjnp kde42applet tpstdin ...

Still get errors in the app when printing.

iproute was already installed

When running the second command, I get the following errors

rbrown@fedora:~/Documents/Backups/turboprint config/turboprint$ sudo tpsetup --install turboprint2.tpkey
sh: line 1: ip: command not found
HTTP ERROR response 404 ...

OK thank you

I also tried installing via command line, and it accepts it there, but get the same error message still in the window

rbrown@fedora:~/Documents/License Keys$ sudo tpsetup --install turboprint2.tpkey[sudo] password for rbrown:
sh: line 1: ip: command not found

2.57-1

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but get the same issue.

In relation to my last post (issues with Gimp plugin), when I try to print I get an error telling me that the demo has expired and I need to install the keyfile.

However, the key is installed. I tried installing key again, but get same error

Fedora Linux ...

Gimp plugin is not compatible or won't install with Gimp 3. It was fine on Gimp 2.10, then my system updated and I got 3.0 without realizing.

This is quite a cutting edge version I guess. Given I cannot use a flatpak for the plugin, what would be my options?

Thanks

System: Fedora 41
Gimp version ...

OK, I tried instead connecting the printer to my network via a standard patch cable.

I set it up with cups (via system utlities), then copied the cups URI to set up the print in turboprint

Works, and printing speed is now fast!

I created a separate thread on how I could set up the printer ...

Hi

Related to my other issue of printing too slow I am trying to now direct connect my printer to my PC using a crossover ethernet cable.

I read the TurboPrint user manual and it isn't clear how to set this up (or even if it is possible).

I can manually set up the printer to a specific IP address ...

OK thank you

I will try ethernet insterad. I made a crossover cable to allow me to directly connect to my computer (don't have enough ports in my office to put the printer on the network).

I will report back once I've figured out how to set this up.

I just tried printing a 5x7 at 720 dpi

It took around 5 minutes! Usually this takes about 30-60 seconds

Note per my feedback above... it is idiosyncratic depending on how I kick off the print request, and paper size.

Hi

I have been a user for a few years now. I noticed that on my last distro that I had some very idiosyncratic print speed issues.

Example:
- Print 4x6 in GIMP plugin. Prints fine at normal speed.
- Print borderless 4x6 in system module. Prints very slow, with head transitioning once every 5 ...
