hello everyone, can anybody explain to me or give me some hints on how to use any gutenprint print drivers?
there are the packages gutenprint and gutenprintBin. both are happy being added to services.printing.drivers. none of them seems to add anything to the share/cups/model directory of cups-progs and thus no ppds are selectable in the add printer menu on localhost:631. gutenprintBin does bring along a couple of gzipped ppds. gutenprint doesn't have any (possibly they could be generated using genppd ??). those ppds contain paths, which read like /opt/gutenprint, and thus fail to work when supplied manually to ppd without modification. replacing those paths before so they point to the correct files instead seems to work at first, but still upon printing the job errors out with Unable to find Gutenprint driver named "Canon PIXMA MG5200"!. any ideas? my efforts just ground to a halt. cheers, jonas
