Well, those are snapshots, and are always named after the current day, ie for today, package name is foomatic-db-4.0-20120803.tar.gz. There are also two files, foomatic-db-4.0-current.tar.gz and foomatic-db-current.tar.gz, which are possibly symlinks to date-versioned one. I guess we could use -current, but ... If some change occours, we might not be prepared. That's why I asked to have some snapshot on the servers and write and/or correct instructions for that one only. > BTW, I have a postscript printer (HP) that also understands PCL.

Paralel and serial backends are also dropped from Cups and moved into cups-backends package. I'll see if I can get done new instructions tomorrow so you can see if that setup actually works. I don't have any printer, I just look at documentation and try to incorporate any new changes. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
