What is the next step?For a locally-connected printer you’ll certainly need a CUPS daemon running, indeed. I’m not sure exactly what it takes, but it would clearly be a worthwhile addition!
OK. I gave it a try and this is how far I got:The manpages and documentation on cups.org is rather useless regarding installation and formatting of the config-files.
The package installs corrupt config-files according to $ cupsd -t"/gnu/store/qs3xymcsgxa68i8m188261rhxsszx7za-cups-2.1.0/etc/cups/cups-files.conf" contains errors.
I have a running working installation of cups 1.7 on my trisquel 7 machine. I tried copying the working (very similar) configs from there which the trisquel-cupsd report as 'OK'. => It did not help and the error is not as detailed as I would like and there is no debug option is seems.
Is there a good free non-apple-owned alternative to CUPS I could try instead?
