Hi all: I'm having a problem installing a print driver, foo2zjs, downloaded and compiled from source. This is a driver for a HP P1505n printer. (hplip is not an option as this printer needs further firmware that is not generally available). The error message I'm getting at the make install command is:
"Error - foomatic-rip is not installed! Install foomatic packages for your OS make [install test] Error 1" My box is a Dell 780 with no-frills Gentoo. I also have a Dell 3500 with the same basic setup, but on that box the install went fine and the printer works. To stay out of TL;DR territory, a short list of what I have checked so far: - re-installed cups, cups-filters, foomatic-db, and foomatic-db-engine, with the same use flags on both working and non-working installs; - removed the foo2zjs package and re-downloaded and compiled from scratch; - started and stopped the cupsd service; - eix shows same cups and foomatic packages installed on each; - neither the working nor non-working install use hplip; - tried the Gentoo package foo2zjs-99999999 and the temp.build.log threw the exact same error as building from source; - Googled error message - no useful information. (As a side note, I cannot install foomatic-filters, as it conflicts with cups-filters, which has dependency issues and cannot be removed.) If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd be appreciative. If further information is needed, please let me know. Thanks!
