Public bug reported: For the Seiko SmartLabel series of label printers, Seiko has made available a driver, which can be downloaded from http://siibusinessproducts.com/support/linuxdriver_sla.html
It requires manual compilation and the makefile needs to be adapted to suit Ubuntu (because there is no models subdirectory in /usr/share/cups/). But the good thing is, the driver is released under the GPL so I see no reason why this could not be packaged and included in the repositories so it would be easier to install on Ubuntu. The agreement on the link I posted above seems to indicate otherwise but the sourcefiles and the LICENSE.txt clearly state it is released as free software under the terms of the General Public License version 2. I could not find any package containing this driver, please correct me if I'm wrong. I am usign Kubuntu Intrepid 8.10, fully updated including the proposed repository. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [needs packaging] Include a Seiko Smart Label package in the repositories https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/337189 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
