OK - Another short update. I went back to the forum article
(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=346929) and did the following.
Downloaded the driver from Konica Minolta's web site.
Rather than installing the RPM, I extracted it (rpm2cpio
../magicolor2530DL-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm | cpio -dimv)
All files are installed into /usr/share or /usr/lib . I simply copied the files
into /usr using
al...@lobsang:/usr$ sudo cp -av /home/alord/Desktop/MG/usr/* .
I then tried to install the printer via the
System->Administration->Printing->New->Printer dialogue but it failed at
the final hurdle with:
"There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'server-error-
internal-error'.".
However, installing the printer via the cups interface at localhost:631/
according to the thread above worked fine. I can print using FF and OOo.
And hopefully by not installing a deb I won't get any more dpkg errors.
But still, it would be nice if I didn't have to resort to these kind of
hacks. Hope this helps in the diagnosis. Just in case, I have attached
the magicolor driver file.
