Keyfile will not install

Post by robbrown99 »

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

Hello, if TurboPrint Control and TurboPrint Monitor show your license at the bottom of the window (as visible in your screenshot), installation of the TurboPrint license key file was successful. I have no explanation why the message "TurboPrint demo expired" should appear. Which version of TurboPrint do you have installed (TurboPrint Control -> button "About / License")?

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

Can you please install the package "iproute" - from a terminal enter

Code: Select all

sudo dnf install iproute
and then retry

Code: Select all

sudo tpsetup --install turboprint2.tpkey
and check if TurboPrint is activated properly?

Still get errors in the app when printing.

iproute was already installed

When running the second command, I get the following errors

Code: Select all

rbrown@fedora:~/Documents/Backups/turboprint config/turboprint$ sudo tpsetup --install turboprint2.tpkey

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?

Code: Select all

rbrown@fedora:/usr/lib/turboprint$ ls

appindicator          kde41applet           tpfilterraw

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 it fine in CUPS). I will open up a new thread about that.
