Re: Tea4CUPS: TEABILLING reports error

Hi,

I have tea4cups configured to power on my printer before printing. In order to do this, I prepended tea4cups:/ to the DeviceURI in printers.conf (if I remove this and power on the printer manually before printing, everything works as expected):

/etc/cups/printers.conf:
DeviceURI tea4cups:/http://hpljwlan:631/ipp/

I configured the printer power on script:

/etc/cups/tea4cups.conf:
prehook_sispmctl : /usr/local/bin/printeron

but I get unfortunately an error in /var/log/cups/error_log
with every print job and the job is stopped.

E [30/May/2018:08:51:40 +0200] [Job 16] Tea4CUPS (PID 9689) : Traceback (most recent call last):

Is seems something goes wrong while setting the TEABILLING environement variable.

Has anybody an idea why that could be?

Many thanks
