Hi All, I think that I'm making the much harder than need be...or that it can't be done.
I have a RH 7.3 system and I've gotten a new HP Laserjet 1300 printer. OK, so I checked and found that there is a driver for this printer on the CUPS site. I download it only to find out that I am missing a component which I must get with a new version of ghostscript. <sigh> Ghostscript won't install cause it needs GLIBC_2_3 and mine is glibc_2_2. OK, fine. I'll just build ghostscript from source...but when I try to do that, it tells me that in order to build ghostscript, I need gimp-print-devel. So, I dl the source of gimp-print-devel and rpm tells me that ghostscript-devel is needed by gimp-print-devel. And, of course, ghpostscript is needed by ghostscript-devel (another failed dependency). Normally, I'd put everything on one rpm command line and let rpm figure everything out (as good old rpm should) but some packages are src and others are "regular" rpms. I worry about upgrading glibc because the upgrade may break many things. My questions then are: 1. Will upgrading glibc break things as I fear? (If not, then I do that and the install should work) 2. Failing that, is there a way to get the ghostscript, gimp-devel, etc. install to work? 3. the CUPS driver is a postscript driver for this printer. If I don't go with CUPS, what alternate do I have for printing with my new printer?
