Public bug reported:
For the Seiko SmartLabel series of label printers, Seiko has made available a
driver, which can be downloaded from
http://siibusinessproducts.com/support/linuxdriver_sla.html
It requires manual compilation and the makefile needs to be adapted to
suit Ubuntu (because there is no models subdirectory in
/usr/share/cups/). But the good thing is, the driver is released under
the GPL so I see no reason why this could not be packaged and included
in the repositories so it would be easier to install on Ubuntu. The
agreement on the link I posted above seems to indicate otherwise but the
sourcefiles and the LICENSE.txt clearly state it is released as free
software under the terms of the General Public License version 2.
I could not find any package containing this driver, please correct me
if I'm wrong.
I am usign Kubuntu Intrepid 8.10, fully updated including the proposed
repository.
