Hi, I would like to get an old research machine to be able to print to (and perhaps scan from) a HP LaserJet 3390 over the network. The machine I need to configure is a hodgepodge of 7.3 and 8.0 RPMs (with a splash of Mandrake and some Ximian for good measure)
I've walked through the manual install how-to guide (http://hplip.sourceforge.net/install/manual/distros/redhat.html) making sure to update the dependencies where needed and install everything on the lists. However, I got to step 10 and balked: "Build hplip with no network and no fax support. Use hplip-1.6.6a or newer." I need the machine to be able to print/scan over the network; using the USB connection is impossible.Is there a reason why old Redhat machines cannot compile with network? I tried to compile HPLIP 1.7.3 with network support enabled, and ran into an error about 'no net-snmp' available. I hopped over to the net-snmp site and compiled and installed the package. I also needed a python interpreter >= 2.2, so I installed that as well. I configured >./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-fax-build It configured a-ok. >make [snip] cd pcard/pcardext; \ /usr/bin/python setup.py build running build running build_ext skipping 'pcardext' extension (up-to-date) cd prnt/cupsext; \ /usr/bin/python setup.py build running build running build_ext building 'cupsext' extension gcc -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -I/usr/include/python2.2 -c cupsext.c -o build/temp.linux-i686-2.2/cupsext.o cupsext.c: In function `getVersionTuple': cupsext.c:1009: `CUPS_VERSION_MAJOR' undeclared (first use in this function) cupsext.c:1009: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once cupsext.c:1009: for each function it appears in.) cupsext.c:1009: `CUPS_VERSION_MINOR' undeclared (first use in this function) cupsext.c:1009: `CUPS_VERSION_PATCH' undeclared (first use in this function) cupsext.c: In function `getGroupList': cupsext.c:1390: structure has no member named `name' cupsext.c: In function `getGroup': cupsext.c:1415: structure has no member named `name' cupsext.c: In function `getOptionList': cupsext.c:1447: structure has no member named `name' cupsext.c: In function `getOption': cupsext.c:1489: structure has no member named `name' cupsext.c: In function `getChoiceList': cupsext.c:1529: structure has no member named `name' cupsext.c: In function `getChoice': cupsext.c:1577: structure has no member named `name' error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 make[1]: *** [build-cupsext] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/edeneau/tmp/hplip-1.7.3' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 I have no idea what this is or how to fix it. I've reached a state of stuck-ness. Can anyone offer assistance?
