True, but the problem here isn't porting the drivers to x64, but simply correcting the installer's inability to allow the installation to proceed when it detects an x64 OS. That's just a few lines of code. Of course, this discussion has me wondering if I could replace the dpkg binary with a script that would run dpkg with --force-architecture set, although I'm not sure that the catch routine is in dpkg or within the script itself. Installing the .deb by itself worked, sort of, but the scanner is dead and the printer is monochrome only even when set for color, which tells me that I need to figure out to get the installer to run without choking on the x64 architecture. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive http://marc.info/?l=jaxlug-list&r=1&w=2 RSS Feed http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.xml Unsubscribe [email protected]
