Re: CUPS and error dialogs

I've truncated my CUPS driver to the following code:

int main (int argc, const char * argv[])
{
fprintf(stderr, "ERROR: Unable to read CUPS raster data\n");
fflush(stderr);
return 1;
}

I see the following in the CUPS log:

E [02/Mar/2004:18:14:25 -0800] [Job 346] Unable to read CUPS raster data

However, the queue app for my printer just quits at the end of the job. The only time i think I've seen the app hang around and get a badge in the dock is when my code crashed or hung badly.

Should the above code work?

Thanks,
Dave

All of that said, an error condition logged with simply the cups error prefix should cause an error dialog to be presented to the user. If you can confirm that you are seeing this displayed in the UI, I'll investigate.

CUPS has since added the '+' and '-' prefixes to message to allow strings to be added and removed from IPP's printer-state-reasons. [cups/scheduler/printers.c:SetPrinterReasons()] We'll be supporting that in the UI in the next major OS release.

I hope this helps,

Rich

I can't seem to get CUPS print jobs to display any kind of error dialog
like Tioga drivers are able to do.

For example, the following lines of code in my main() don't seem to do
anything:

fprintf(stderr, "ERROR: This is a bad error\n");
return 1;

I was expecting to see the OS display some sort of alert indicating the
print job failed, but that does not happen.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Dave
