Printer not working

[NiraCity]

Hallo evryone.

I'm almost done with the photoboorh, but I can't print yet.

I have an HP LaserJet Pro M255.
And I can make a test print from cups. (localhost:631)

Only with Pibooth it doesn't print photos.

In the config file I have (under printer)

leave the name as default. but even when I enter the printer name there, it does not print.

printer_option is empty

printer view 10 sec

number of pages automatically sent to the printer = 1

Maximum number of printed pages = - 1

Maximum nuber of printed pages = 3

picture per page is 1.

Does anyone know what else I need to adjust to get the printer working?

[NiraCity]

These are my setting.
This is easier than described above

Name of the printer defined in CUPS (or use the 'default' one)
printer_name = default

Print options passed to the printer, shall be a valid Python dictionary
printer_options = {}

How long is the print view in seconds (0 to skip it)
printer_delay = 10

Number of pages automatically sent to the printer (or use 'max' to reach max duplicate)
auto_print = 1

Maximum number of printed pages before warning on paper/ink levels (-1 = infinite)
max_pages = -1

Maximum number of duplicate pages sent to the printer (avoid paper waste)
max_duplicates = 3

Print 1, 2, 3 or 4 picture copies per page
pictures_per_page = 1

When starting the software i get the message.

Anybody know what i can change?
Do i also have to install Pycups and or Pycups-Notify?
I can't find in the manual i have to do this.
I found pycups and the notify
https://pypi.org/project/pycups/
https://pypi.org/project/pycups-notify
But if i goole i find it is the same as
sudo apt-get install libcups2-dev

i also did what described on this page
https://www.howtogeek.com/169679/how-to-add-a-printer-to-your-raspberry-pi-or-other-linux-computer/
Like the link in the Pibooth manual.

[ WARNING ] pibooth : No printer found (pycups or pycups-notify not installed)
It looks like cups is not installed but I can make a test print and print from the text editor but i still get the message
I installed sudo apt-get install libcups2-dev

[NiraCity]

Tomorrow I will try to Install pycups by the follow link

https://github.com/anxuae/pycups-notify.git
And
https://github.com/OpenPrinting/pycups.git

Hope that will work.

Hi @NiraCity , you indeed need to have both pycups and pycups-notify installed. Both shall have been installed along with pibooth when running

sudo pip3 install pibooth[dslr,printer]

Did you install with this command? You can always fix it by running the following command:

sudo pip3 install pycups==1.9.73 pycups-notify==0.0.4

[NiraCity]

Thank you very much for your response.

Now it works, so I should have installed an older version?

Thank you

No I think you installed it without the printer option that's all. I added the documentation tag to improve it on this (not the common pip command to have this kind of option)
