Installation of Gutenprint
Install Gutenprint by running the
following commands:
sed -i 's|$(PACKAGE)/doc|doc/$(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION)|' \
{,doc/,doc/developer/}Makefile.in &&
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make
To test the results, issue: make
check. This will take a very, very long time (310+
SBUs).
Now, as the root user:
make install &&
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/gutenprint-5.2.5/api/gutenprint{,ui2} &&
install -v -m644 doc/gutenprint/html/* \
/usr/share/doc/gutenprint-5.2.5/api/gutenprint &&
install -v -m644 doc/gutenprintui2/html/* \
/usr/share/doc/gutenprint-5.2.5/api/gutenprintui2
Command Explanations
sed -i '...'
...Makefile.in: This command is used so that the
package documentation is installed in the conventional /usr/share/doc directory structure instead of
/usr/share/gutenprint/doc.
--with-translated-ppds=no: When this
parameter is given, only US English PPD files for CUPS will be built. Useful if the PPD files
are not yet translated into your native language and you want to
save some space by not installing unneeded translations.
Configuring Gutenprint
Configuration Information
For CUPS to see newly installed
print drivers, it has to be restarted (as the root user):
/etc/rc.d/init.d/cups restart
Then point your web browser to http://localhost:631/ to add a new
printer to CUPS.
