Hi Marc, (and others), Thanks for the mails you sent me in reply to my support request [1] in February, I tried to follow them as good as I could.
But, since there was a pull request, which allegedly would enable me to use the new gutenprint necessary for my Canon PIXMA MG5200 printer, I had settled for waiting until it was to be merged. Well, it seems that's not going to happen anytime soon. > https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/1120/ So I tried to build cups/gutenprint from that pull request on my own. but, when I merge it into a current channel-nixos branch of mine, nix doesn't finish the "building the system configuration..." step and instead just hogs more and more memory, slowing the system to a grind. I tried cherry-picking the important commits over to another branch, but the commit history has so many cross-merges, that I can't make heads nor tails of it. What are you using at the moment?
