Hi there! I'm trying to configure an Epson C42UX USB-Printer on my OpenBSD 4.0-System via Cups. Seems to be a pretty difficult operation, 'cause up to now it doesn't work.
The Problems: 1. No drivers available! Neither gimp-print/gutenprint nor ESP Ghostscript are available via ports or as packages. 2. Drivers won't compile I've tried to compile gimp-print, gutenprint and ESP-Ghostscript from source - none of them went through. Gimp-Print ended the "make"-order with: : warning: strcpy() is almost always misused, please use strlcpy() /usr/local/lib/libtiff.a(tif_dirinfo.o)(.text+0x6d7): In function `_TIFFCreateAnonFieldInfo': : warning: sprintf() is often misused, please use snprintf() /usr/local/lib/libgnutls.a(gnutls_str.o)(.text+0x77): In function `_gnutls_str_cat': : warning: strcat() is almost always misused, please use strlcat() collect2: ld returned 1 exit status *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/gimp-print-4.2.7/src/cups (line 459 of Makefile). *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/gimp-print-4.2.7/src (line 246 of Makefile). *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/gimp-print-4.2.7 (line 297 of Makefile). *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/gimp-print-4.2.7 (line 426 of Makefile). Gutenprint ended the "make"-order with: In file included from /usr/local/include/gtk-1.2/gtk/gtk.h:80, from ../../include/gutenprintui/gutenprintui.h:41, from panel.c:36: /usr/local/include/gtk-1.2/gtk/gtkitemfactory.h:48: warning: function declaratio n isn't a prototype panel.c: In function `set_entry_value': panel.c:2397: warning: format not a string literal, argument types not checked cc1: out of memory allocating 2223527968 bytes after a total of 0 bytes gmake[3]: *** [libgutenprintui_la-panel.lo] Error 1 gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/gutenprint-5.0.0.99.1/src/gutenprintui' gmake[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/gutenprint-5.0.0.99.1/src' gmake[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/gutenprint-5.0.0.99.1' gmake: *** [all] Error 2 And ESP-Ghostscript ended "./configure" with: checking for jpeg_set_defaults in -ljpeg... no configure: error: I wasn't able to find a copy of the jpeg library. This is required for compiling ghostscript. Please download a copy of the source, e.g. from http://www.ijg.org/, unpack it at the top level of the gs source tree, and rename the directory to 'jpeg'. So, I don't know, how to adjust this simple printer. On linuxprinting.org they write the printer "works Perfectly"?! Does anyone know, how to solve this problem? _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
