Archlinux - ERROR : no connection to TurboPrint daemon

Post by Pafrapé »

I installed Turboprint on Archlinux without any problems.
Turboprint works very well.
Only problem I can not solve: TurboPrint monitor continuously displays "ERROR : no connection to TurboPrint daemon".
Thank you for your help to tell me how to solve this problem and allow me to fully Turboprint.

The "TurboPrint daemon" is not started during boot time on Archlinux.

The following command should fix this:

sudo copy /usr/share/turboprint/lib/tpdaemon /etc/rc.d

I did: "sudo cp /usr/share/TurboPrint/lib/tpdaemon /etc/rc.d", restarted the PC, but no change.
The message is always the same.

Edit

/etc/rc.conf

search for the line "DAEMONS=..." and add "tpdaemon" after "cups", e.g.

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond fam hal cups tpdaemon)

then reboot an let me know if it works.

Great, it works perfectly.
Thank you very much for your help.

In summary, as this will be of interest to users:

1. Copy in a terminal the following command:
sudo cp /usr/share/turboprint/lib/tpdaemon /etc/rc.d

2. Edit /etc/rc.conf
Search for the line "DAEMONS=..." and add "tpdaemon" after "cups", e.g.
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng ... cups tpdaemon)
then reboot.
