Abortion when no printer installed about pibooth HOT 11 CLOSED

Hi Dommsel,

Yes it is normally possible to run pibooth without printer. Can you publish here the traceback error?

Thanks

from pibooth.

Here you are:

Problem occures when the button 2 is pushed by displaying the image. Should be possible to hide the "Print foto afterwards"-function or disable button 2 at this time

from pibooth.

Yes you can hide the print state by setting the printer_delay=0 (see configuration details: https://github.com/werdeil/pibooth#configuration )

from pibooth.

Does it correspond to your needs? Can I close the issue?

Hi anxuae, sorry for my delayed answer!
The suggested setting printer_delay=0 does not help me so much. My problem is marked in the upload. By hitting button 2 at this point, the program will abort. So I don't want do give users the possibility to print.
Don't worry about the monitor, it's 4:3 resolution ;)

from pibooth.

Ok, I will look for a fix. The new behavior will be to skip print actions and print messages if one of following conditions is true:

• pycups is not installed
• no printer configured in CUPS

Implemented in werdeil@227fc3f

Hey anxuae,
thanks for your help, but I've got a last, dumb question :(
I justed started working with my raspi and so I still got not the possibility to gain much experience. I want to have commit #227fc3f run, but I don't know how. My steps were:

• uninstalling pibooth by using pip uninstall pibooth
• downloading zip from #227fc3f repository
• unzip data to python directory in usr/local/lib

By starting pibooth through terminal I got the message: bash: pibooth: Command not found. Can you give me a short manual how to get the program run?

from pibooth.

Hi Dommsel,

The commande pibooth is only available for official release on the pypi server.

If you want to use an unstable version, follow this steps:

• clone from github: git clone https://github.com/werdeil/pibooth.git
• in a terminal, go in the cloned directory: cd pibooth
• run the command: PYTHONPATH=. python3 pibooth/ptb.py

Be careful, sometime we push commits which are not fully debugged, thus it may not work.

Available in v1.0.0
