Known problem. Ghostscript needs to be adapted. Reason: Gimp-Print has a built-in driver for Ghostscript (the "stp" driver). Therefore Gimp-Print stuff is in the ghostscript-library package. Gutenprint does no longer have a built-in driver for Ghostscript. Gutenprint has only an "external" driver for Ghostscript which uses the IJS interface to Ghostscript (i.e. one can update the Gutenprint driver without re-compile and update Ghostscript packages). Some file names in Gimp-Print and Gutenprint are the same. Therefore the above duplicates. It is not decided if we drop the Gimp-Print "stp" driver from Ghostscript to get completely rid of Gimp-Print, or if we keep it for backward compatibility so that existing print queues which use the "stp" driver still work. Up to Suse Linux 10.1 the "stp" driver is used by default if a print queue with the Gimp-Print driver is set up (we have about 600 PPD files which use the "stp" driver). By the way: We appreciate it very much if you test Gutenprint. We only have a few printers to test Gutenprint on our own. In case of problems use our Bugzilla and set the "component" to "printing" so that I get it and/or assign it directly to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (don't use [EMAIL PROTECTED] in Bugzilla).
I got the same dependency problem, and then I forced the installation. With my Lexmark Z52 Gutenprint works fine. Cheers --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
