#70 pynotify is not raising the dialog box pykoticon defect 02/15/11

I am using Kubuntu 10.04 and installed pykota-1.26_fixes_official at my system. All is working except from the pknotify problem. It seems pknotify is not raising the dialog boxes in front of other windows so when i sent the print request i can not see the dialog box, but can understand the pykoticon is received the request from the line "127.0.0.1 connected". Also i can take the opened dialog box to the front by using alt+tab and see the dialog screen. When i confirm the dialog, i can see the printing is processing.


#34 Die gracefully or print when database is not available pykota None enhancement 12/05/08

When the cupspykota backend runs, we know that we need read+write access to the database. Introduce a printingwithnodb directive which allows either print or fail (and possibly ignore which is fail with an exit(0)), as values in pykota.conf. This directive will let PyKota know if it has to fail (as it does actually), or print anyway if the database isn't available.


#2 Incorrect handling of PJL statements pkpgcounter None defect 06/03/08

PJL statements appearing, at least, in PCL3/4/5 and PCLXL jobs, before the content of the very first page are not correctly taken into account. They are correctly parsed, but not used when computing number of copies and default page formats...

See this thread in Jasmine's mailing list : http://www.mail-archive.com/jasmine@ml.free.fr/msg00179.html

Fix is on the way... since December of 2007. PJL parser has been improved, but nothing committed just yet.


#67 PJL hardware accounting not working (halts printing) on LaserJet 5 (fix included) pykota 1.27 final defect 09/15/10

A LaserJet? 5 printer will return multiple status messages when, for example, pagecount is requested. It will return first return 10023 (printing) twice, then the pagecount and then 10001 (ready). In this case, 10023 just means "Busy retreiving pagecount", but this is interpreted wrongly by pykota/accounters/pjl.py. The script does not wait for the last status message, but stops looking after receiving the pagecount and the 10023 status. This causes the script to wait on the printer for eternity.

Suggested fix: Adding the extra where clause: "or (self.printerStatus == '10023')" to line 146 causes the script to wait until the timeout to see if there are any other incoming status messages. With this fix it picks the first non-10023 status code, or just 10023 after the timeout. Increasing any of the timeout values was not needed for my printer.


#39 pkpgcounter fails to read PJL-wrapped postscript pkpgcounter 1.27 final defect 02/24/09

Hi,

this is a copy of http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=515184, to be tracked in the proper tracker.

Summary: Some ppds create PJL headers for their postscript. This is passed py pkgpgcounter to ghostscript unmodified, causing it to fail.

A solution would be to detect the presence of these headers and strip them before sending the file to ghostscript. A simple striper (in perl) is in the patch http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;filename=pkpgcounter.patch;att=1;bug=515184

Greetings, Joachim


#26 Switch autocommit mode off for relational backends. pykota None enhancement 10/04/08

Some RDBMS don't have an explicit way to begin a transaction (like DB2). Actually all relational backends set automatic commit mode to on, but this won't be possible for DB2 and probably other backends. PyKota's code must be changed to handle this problem which prevents PyKota from being ported to other RDBMS.


#11 Add a minimal cost per page when using ink accounting pykota 1.27 final enhancement 06/11/08

With ink accounting almost empty sheets are accounted for almost no credits. A base price per page could be used to set a minimum. Alternatively, the actual computation formula could be modified.


#22 Add support for CUPS' CUPS_FILETYPE environment variable. pykota None enhancement 09/18/08

An enhancement request (CUPS STR 2799) I had submitted for CUPS has been implemented in CUPS' r7962 : the CUPS_FILETYPE environment variable available to the cupspykota backend (to any backend in fact) contains 'job-sheet' for a banner page, and 'document' for the real job.

This means that PyKota can now account differently banner pages and jobs.


#27 Can not set the Maximum Job Size(kBytes) pykota None enhancement 10/23/08

PyKota can not set the maximum job size allowed to printer to kBytes per job instead of pages. The CUPS command "lpadmin" just has quota control, the "job-k-limit" base on "job-quota-period". In other words, we can set the maximum job size for a period, and can not set the maximum job size for a single job.


#5 Encryption support pykoticon None enhancement 06/11/08

PyKotIcon? doesn't encrypt datas when dialoguing with pknotify (or other compatible applications). This is mostly a problem when 'pknotify --checkauth --ask "Password:password"' is used, because the password will fly unencrypted over the network.


#51 Export additional environment variables pykota 1.27 final enhancement 01/21/10

It would be useful to export additional environment variables, like for example the current user's email address as read from PyKota's database.


#13 Improve the relational schema pykota None enhancement 06/11/08

Additional informations could be stored, like the account balance's value at the time a job was printed, the details of the printed pages (format, orientation, duplex mode...)


#68 Pykota mysql connection timeout pykota defect 01/25/11

When a print job gets stuck in the queue for a long time, pykota fails. I don't yet know why jobs get stuck. Maybe the printer is out of paper when nobody is around to refill it.

When cupspykota is finally able to print, it tries to connect to the mysql database and fails. The connection gets lost after 8 hours due to the default wait_timeout in mysqld.

Here is an example of such a job from the logs:

messages:Jan 24 16:54:44 <host> PyKota: (PID 31610) : <user>(9389) => Job accounting begins. messages:Jan 24 16:54:50 <host> PyKota: (PID 31610) : <user>(9389) => CUPS backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/socket returned 0. messages:Jan 25 08:26:34 <host> PyKota: (PID 31610) : <user>(9389) => Job accounting ends.

Maybe pykota could try to reconnect to the mysql database in this case?


#12 Revamp the LDAP schema pykota None enhancement 06/11/08

The actual LDAP schema is overly complex : PyKota user account and user's balance are split in two for no valid reason. Last job of each printer is not stored in the printer object itself for no valid reason, and so on...

#80 Some Zenographics ZJStream print jobs incorrectly detected as PCL3/4/5 pkpgcounter defect 09/21/13

Some ZJStream files contain a PJL header, making such files be detected as PCL3/4/5 instead of ZJStream, resulting in a inaccurate page count.


#4 Support for CUPS' unix domain sockets pkipplib None enhancement 06/11/08

pkipplib doesn't support to communicate with CUPS through unix domain sockets, but only through inet domain sockets. This is problematic when people forbid their CUPS+PyKota server to listen to 127.0.0.1.


#69 DockBook warnings pykota 1.27 final defect 02/07/11

Trying to build HTML documentation for pykota 1.27 (SVN rev. 3554) with docbook2html from docbook-utils 0.6.14 caused docbook to spit some warnings. Attached patch makes docbook happy.

Another problem is that HTML docs don't get installed into /usr/share/doc/pykota/html/ as intended. Fix for that isn't included into the patch, because I didn't know where it fits best. Either change setup.py to search for HTML files in docs/*.html instead of docs/pykota/*.html

-docfiles = glob.glob(os.sep.join(["docs", "pykota", "*.html"]))
+docfiles = glob.glob(os.sep.join(["docs", "*.html"])) 

or change debian/Makefile.docs to let it build HTML docs in subdirectory docs/pykota/ instead of docs/

-        docbook2html pykota.sgml
+        docbook2html -o pykota pykota.sgml
