The problem with that, is that a cups-devel rpm is not available for SUSE 10.0, at least not in the current cups-1.1.23-21.2 version. There would seem to be no .src.rpm for it either, so you wouldn't be able to create your own .rpm version. So I have given up on creating gutenprint for SUSE 10.0. I notice that SUSE 10.1 has cups-devel-1.1.23-39.i586.rpm, which explains why a gutenprint rpm could be created for 10.1.
I got this to compile with the package you sent. I have cups-dev-1.1.23-21 on my system and it appeared to work.
I have both the RPMS and SRPMS files. YaST sees the rpm for install. Is the a way to check if the PPD files exist before I try to install. I don't want to kill the tar version that I installed. Also I think the tar had a prefix of /usr. Is there a way to check that? The RPM was built for /usr/local.
Thanks for your help on this.

Russ, I built the package according to the package's defaults, which was /usr/local. I started to add it in the same place that the gimp print stuff was at, but decided to follow the defaults in this case, so if you compile and installed from the tar file, it went to /usr/local unless you stated otherwise in the commands. I am testing with a new printer right now and it's working great so far. The printer is not doing a bad job either. ;-) Lee
