cups error about node-printer HOT 29 CLOSED

this means that your cups lib it is in a different place.
what it says if you type cups-config --libs and cups-config --cflags?

from node-printer.

$ cups-config --libs
-lcups -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro -lgssapi_krb5 -lkrb5 -lk5crypto -lcom_err -lgnutls -L/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lgcrypt -lz -lpthread -lm -lcrypt -lz
$ cups-config --cflags

# Above command was empty

from node-printer.

what happens if you run your application with LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu node app.js?

from node-printer.

I getting a same error:
"node_modules/printer/build/Release/node_printer.node: undefined symbol: cupsCreateJob"

I see the -lcups can't effec, I add -v agament parameter and look the output:

no -lcups

from node-printer.

sorry for silly questions:

1. did you try the latest repository version?
2. did you run from the same user which you build the package?

I updated https://www.npmjs.org/package/printer , maybe you can try to install directly from npmjs.org:
npm uninstall printer
npm install printer

from node-printer.

I am getting something similar: "undefined symbol" error. I am running latest Linux Mint (ubuntu 14.04 based distro)

[6267:0814/132754:INFO:CONSOLE(352)] "Uncaught Error: nw-print-client/node_modules/printer/build/Release/node_printer.node: undefined symbol: _ZN2v816FunctionTemplate3NewEPFNS_6HandleINS_5ValueEEERKNS_9ArgumentsEES3_NS1_INS_9SignatureEEE", source: module.js (352)

from node-printer.

alevilar: did you compile printer module with nw-gyp? If not. Then this may be the issue.

The issue reported by Multiply seems to be different.

Multiply: could you please reinstall From npmjs.org npm install printer?

from node-printer.

ok. Do you suggest to open a new issue asking for node webkit compatibility?
I´m now reading about gyp and nw-gyp :) and i continue with error
i did compile, but think I`m having problems when I do:
nw-gyp configure

the script is trying to download node-webkit but with node version..
gyp info it worked if it ends with ok
gyp info using [email protected]
gyp info using [email protected] | linux | ia32
gyp http GET http://node-webkit.s3.amazonaws.com/v0.10.30/nw-headers-v0.10.30.tar.gz
http://node-webkit.s3.amazonaws.com/v0.10.30/nw-headers-v0.10.30.tar.gz

... and fails

from node-printer.

if you run from node-webkit then definetiely you have to compile with nw-gyp and set as target the exact version of node-webkit. Alternatively you can install the exact node version which node-webkit is using and compile with npm directly.

from node-printer.

I tested with node-webkit and is working fine. The only issue you have to build printer package with nw-gyp or with the same version of node which node-webkit uses.

from node-printer.

remove everything and started from scratch....

I am using latest nw version: 0.10.2
while updated to nodejs 0.11.13 so I have the one used by nw.

I am writing the node printer module as a dependency in my project
package:

"dependencies": {
"printer": "latest"
},

and when i write: npm install
the build is made
... but now is failing with this error and is not being installed.

Usage: gyp_main.py [options ...] [build_file ...]gyp_main.py: error: no
such option: --no-parallelgyp ERR! configure error gyp ERR! stack Error:
gyp failed with exit code: 2
I will continue trying and fighting...
I am newbie with node, nw, gyp, nw-gyp, grunt, glup, and so on.. and I
think the issue is there
:)

seems you have gyp installed.

from node-printer.

google

from node-printer.

thanks! i remove gyp command from my ubuntu distro with
apt-get remove gyp

That solved the error i was getting when
npm install printer

Then using nodewebkit 0.10.2 i needed to do this
nw-gyp configure --target=0.10.1, noticed the downgrade of the target.
Thats because latest build 0.10.2 was not found on server.
then
nw-gyp build
And everything was ok

BUT! the issue comes to me:

... Now I am getting this error
"Uncaught Error: ..../node_modules/printer/build/Release/node_printer.node:
undefined symbol: cupsCancelJob", source: module.js (352)

I tried setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
..with no luck

Seems cups-dev is not linked.

Did you install libcups2-dev?
I think in your case you have to install apt-get install libcups2-dev.
After installation rebuild printer package.

Again, what it says if you type cups-config --libs and cups-config --cflags?

from node-printer.

libcups2-dev
http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=libcups&searchon=names&subword=1&version=breezy&release=all
is
installed

Here is the output when running both commands:

cups-config --libs
-lcups -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro -lgssapi_krb5 -lkrb5
-lk5crypto -lcom_err -lgnutls -lgcrypt -lz -lpthread -lm -lcrypt -lz

and cups-config --cflags
returns nothing

2014-08-19 5:47 GMT-03:00 Ion [email protected]:

cups-config --libs

from node-printer.

Ok, what happens if you reinstall/recompile and re-run printer package?

from node-printer.

again:
"Uncaught Error: node_modules/printer/build/Release/node_printer.node:
undefined symbol: cupsCancelJob", source: module.js (352)

there is something I can do to help? for example debugging inside the code?

In file binding.gyp instead of <!(cups-config --libs) put your output -lcups -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro -lgssapi_krb5 -lkrb5 -lk5crypto -lcom_err -lgnutls -lgcrypt -lz -lpthread -lm -lcrypt -lz.

If it doesn't work try to uncomment line #'-lcups -lgssapi_krb5 -lkrb5 -lk5crypto -lcom_err -lz -lpthread -lm -lcrypt -lz' and comment the line <!(cups-config --libs)

from node-printer.

The error I initially filed an issue for, doesn't seem related to your latest discussion. Would you mind either changing my initial issue, or move to a seperate?

from node-printer.

The issue seems to be the same: cups libs link.

from node-printer.

I had a similar issue and bashed my head against it for about a day. I'm a node noob starting a project to learn it. I'm still refining my "solution" but I'd be glad to help any way I can since I started with the same undefined symbol issue and ended able to list all printers.

What did it for me was adding

   "libraries": [
        '<!(cups-config --libs)',
    ]

to the object inside the targets array and rebuilt. I built the app in a docker container and dumped my bash history to text so let me know if there is anything else I can send to help you. I can also do a pull request if that would help you.

from node-printer.

thanks @ezmac for hint.
@alevilar : could you please test @ezmac solution?

from node-printer.

Yes !! It works!!!

Adding into binding.gyp file the libraries key

'targets':{

• ...*

• "libraries": [
  '<!(cups-config --libs)',
  ]*

  ...

}

now I can list printers !! thanks!
