Hi, I installed cups on my netbook to use it as my print server. I followed the guide in bodhi linux to install cups. It did install cups but the version installed is cups 2.2.7 not the current version. I am also having issues with cups after a couple of printing it would go to "Rendering Completed status". Hope someone can help me. Thank you

If you can link the guide you used I'll give it a try. Or tell me how to get to it, etc, I'm not too familiar with the built in help stuff...

Hi Stefan,
I did check the settings at the localhost:631. I am still searching for a way to fix this. Thank you for the link.

It did install cups but the version installed is cups 2.2.7 not the current version. Yes, 2.2.7 is the latest official version for Bodhi 5.x (from ubuntu bionic repository), however Bodhi 6 (currently in beta) offers 2.31 if you think your problem is version related...
For 2.3.3, I'm gunna have a web search, but you probably have to build from source. But I'll give it a try.

Well its easy enough to build and install. And when I ran the test described in the install instructions it works. But I dunno what to do with cups or how to configure it... wget https://github.com/apple/cups/releases/download/v2.3.3/cups-2.3.3-source.tar.gz
tar xf cups-2.3.3-source.tar.gz && rm cups-2.3.3-source.tar.gz
cd cups-2.3.3
./configure && make
sudo make install
I have done this with other software before and worked, but probably simpler stuff. By having the package already installed, it set up the menu and dependencies etc. Then sudo make install of my built one overwrites what it needs, and then when I run from menu it is updated. And if apt ever had an update, it would overwrite the one I installed, but for me that was okay - if they update it, I probably dont need to use the version I built anyway and if I did I could just reinstall it. But this cups is different cuz its not some program in my menu I can run and do help/about and make sure it's the expected version. So this method may not be an appropriate method to upgrade, so only do it if you don't mind experimenting or at least take a snapshot first.

I will give it a try. For the rendering issue I already tried the disabling usblp reattachment in CUPS, the usb id then no-reattach. The rendering issue still happens. I am thinking its probably my printer cartridge is getting low.
Thank you for quick response.
