Hi,
I am continuing my BLFS build by attempting to add printing support.
I have just managed to build CUPS-1.5.0, jasper-1.900.1,
Ghostscript-9.04, Gutenprint-5.2.7 (with kernel linux-3.0.4) with only
minor problems.
CUPS-1.5.0 and jasper-1.900.1 built OK.
To get Ghostscript-9.04 to build, I had to split the sed after configure
into two separate commands to get it to work.
Gutenprint-5.2.7 needed a sed to add stdio.h to
src/CUPS/commandtoepson.c and commandtocanon.c.
When I logged on to localhost:631, it did not exist! However, the other
parts of localhost:631 (/printers etc.) all worked OK.
So I was able to get CUPS to recognise and setup my EPSON SX415 printer.
I was able to print successfully a jpeg file, which proved the interface
to the printer.
Unfortunately, I could not print any other type of file!
I get the "Unsupported document-format" error each time.
I think I am missing a pstoraster (or gstoraster) file which should be
part of Ghostscript.
I have checked the build logs and can find no trace of
ghostscript-9.04/cups/gstoraster.c being built.
Is there an extra configure option I need to add?
Am I missing something else?
Thanks,
pete
