I did something similar for RH8 to get a driver for my HP InkJet 5550, but I can't recall exactly how... I think I installed pre-compiled gimp-print-devel, as I don't appear to have an SRPM for that lying around, then rebuilt ghostscript. I'm not sure how to get around circular dependencies with SRPMs. If the binary ones will install, first install those, then build the source ones. > 3. the CUPS driver is a postscript driver for this printer.

Re: CUPS printer installation problem-failed dependencies
I normally get around this using apt-get. It looks into the dependancies ( make sure you dont add any custom repositories) and gets whats needed. rpmfind.net will get you apt-get. ]# apt-get -s install ghostscript that will simulate installing ghostscript and tell you all the dependancies. as always man apt-get. cb On Thu, 2003-05-29 at 08:33, Mark Neidorff wrote: > Hi All, > > I think that I'm making the much harder than need be...or that it can't be > done. > > I have a RH 7.3 system and I've gotten a new HP Laserjet 1300 printer.

CUPS printer installation problem-failed dependencies
Hi All, I think that I'm making the much harder than need be...or that it can't be done. I have a RH 7.3 system and I've gotten a new HP Laserjet 1300 printer. OK, so I checked and found that there is a driver for this printer on the CUPS site. I download it only to find out that I am missing a component which I must get with a new version of ghostscript. Ghostscript won't install cause it needs GLIBC_2_3 and mine is glibc_2_2. OK, fine. I'll just build ghostscript from source...but when I try to do that, it tells me that in order to build ghostscript, I need gimp-print-devel. So, I dl the source of gimp-print-devel and rpm tells me that ghostscript-devel is needed by gimp-print-devel. And, of course, ghpostscript is needed by ghostscript-devel (another failed dependency). Normally, I'd put everything on one rpm command line and let rpm figure everything out (as good old rpm should) but some packages are src and others are "regular" rpms. I worry about upgrading glibc because the upgrade may break many things. My questions then are: 1. Will upgrading glibc break things as I fear? (If not, then I do that and the install should work) 2. Failing that, is there a way to get the ghostscript, gimp-devel, etc. install to work? 3. the CUPS driver is a postscript driver for this printer. If I don't go with CUPS, what alternate do I have for printing with my new printer?

cat /etc/printcap You find ti easy to install the printer but for filter . man print cap is sufficiant to do that.

Dear all Can you help to install a printer without printtool. I can edit the printcap file but how do i know about the filter file. I do not know how di i have to filter for epson dot printer or laser printer. Obviously these two fileter are different. Pleasze help me to configure printer.

Re: printer installation
In www.rpmdfind.net look for a product called "apsfilter" This will help you configure your printer wihtout X Windows Looking forward to your feedback. dannyh [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Thu, 12 Oct 2000, Selim Jahangir wrote: > Dear all > is there any tool to configure printer from command mode? printtool is used > in X-window.

You might want to check out the manual at freebsd.org for the best tutorial on /etc/printcap I have found: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/printing.html. If you start reading man pages - man 5 printcap, man lpr, etc., - I think you will see that the BSD print spooler has been adapted to RedHat. What does that printtool GUI do? Most significantly it writes the /etc/printcap file with the information you give it. You can write your own printcap file with your text editor if you read the BSD tutorial. Also, you can enter all of the print related commands from the command prompt. Printtool wrote the line /var/spool/lpd/lp/filter in my printcap file. This file points you to the printfilters in /usr/lib/rhs-printfilters/. From here you go to Ghostscript and the printer drivers it calls. I am still looking at Ghostscript documentation...it is huge.

Dear all is there any tool to configure printer from command mode? printtool is used in X-window. But without configuring x-window Can i not be able to configure a printer ?
