Hi folks,
After much agony I've gotten Samsung's printer driver to work on NixOS.
I'm posting the work here in the hope that nobody else has to go through the
same thing.
The patch is distributed as a bunch of binaries together with an install
script that doesn't work on NixOS. This expression ignores the install script
and just copies whichever files seem to be necessary.
It might not be legal to include this in nixpkgs. Should I get in touch with
Samsung? I put a copy of Samsung's EULA at
<http://www.falsifian.org/a/e5IK/eula.htm> -- but the strange thing is, I never
encountered this EULA when downloading the file or trying to run their
installer script: I only found it by searching for files named "*eula*" in the
tarball. At the very least, I hope some other poor Samsung owner finds this
e-mail useful.
The expression is an awful hack, by the way. If someone has a better way
to make it work, speak up!
James
