I'm running Lenny and trying to install the manufacturer's Linux driver for a Xerox Phaser 6280DN color laser printer. The driver is supplied as a tar, which unpacks to a single rpm file:
Xerox-Phaser-6280-1.0-1.noarch.rpm I ran alien --to-deb --scripts Xerox-Phaser-6280-1.0-1.noarch.rpm which completed without error, making xerox-phaser-6280_1.0-2_all.deb However, when I try to install this apt-get -V install xerox-phaser-6280_1.0-2_all.deb it fails as follows Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package xerox-phaser-6280_1.0-2_all.deb The package is right in the working directory, and I copied and pasted the file name to make sure there were no typos. It appears that installing the rpm may fail too. I tried rpm --test -ivh Xerox-Phaser-6280-1.0-1.noarch.rpm and got error: Failed dependencies: /bin/sh is needed by Xerox-Phaser-6280-1.0-1.noarch I of course do have /bin/sh, which is linked to bash. I am able to list the contents of the rpm rpm -qlp Xerox-Phaser-6280-1.0-1.noarch.rpm -> /usr/share/cups/model/Xerox/Xerox_Phaser_6280DN.ppd.gz /usr/share/cups/model/Xerox/Xerox_Phaser_6280DT.ppd.gz /usr/share/cups/model/Xerox/Xerox_Phaser_6280N.ppd.gz I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to install this driver. Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
