OK, I have downloaded cups 1.1.14, ghostscript 7.05.1 and gimp-print 4.3.0. Gimp-print is archived in tar.bz2 format. I have never come across this before. Do I just do a "tar xzvf"? Which of these three packages should be installed first? The install.txt doc in cups states: Besides these tools you'll want the following libraries: - JPEG 6b or higher - PNG 1.0.6 or higher - TIFF 3.4 or higher - ZLIB 1.1.3 or higher I found all of these on my system except "zlib". Nor could I find anything in the install.txt or readme.txt files that mentions the above noted special procedure to compile cups for gimp-print. Cheers, Brian
