Where did the data go ??? So I downloaded from Windows where the downloader allows me to choose a folder. Indeed the data ended up in the selected folder. As Windows 2000 filesystem is VFAT32 I could mount the Windows partition (the whole hda disk) from inside SusE so I could copy the tar file from the folder to a directory that I named "/netshare/downloads/Gimp-print/" just to be ... original (???). I followed the instructions you gave me step by step but the "./configure" script signalled an error that presumably prevented it from creating the Makefile that then "make" expected to find so ... catastrophe !!! Please, find attached the text file where I recorded all the messages printed out to the screen by the "gimp-printer" procedure. Hopefully there is a workaround to this further hurdle ...
BTW: my advisor has got an HP 960C and had no problem whatsoever at color printing when he connected the printer to his ALPHA station running SuSE. I've started to think that probably my EPSON C60 is not the best choice for a SuSE platform ...

Hi Maura I see two possible problems: 1) You need to install gimp-devel 2) You need to install flex (This is the one that made the configure script fail) My workstation that the printer is attached to is running RedHat7.2, and my Server is running SUSE, so I have not compiled the gimp-print on SuSE, but I have now run the configure on my SuSE box and it is OK. Funny that SuSE do not install flex as part of the default development tools?? (I also had to install it now) Remember to run the configure with the cups option: ./configure --with-cups Hope this helps :-) PS: I see you had some problems to find the gimp-print download page. I have downloaded the source some time ago, but now I cannot even get to that page.. Glad that you did find it in the end. Good luck Let me know if you have further problems, then I will install the whole thing on my SuSE box and see if I can get my Epson to work on SuSE -- Andre Truter Software Engineer Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 AIM: trusoftzaf <-------------------------------------------------> < The box said: Requires Windows 95 or better... > < So I installed Linux > <------------------------------------------------->

I got mine from sourceforge.net gimp-print-4.2.0.tar.gz from http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net

This I see happening when I click with the LEFT mouse button on the link. Some browsers do think, the file type to download is a file to display, in html or text format or whatever. It does not store the file somewhere, except in its cache, and there the file name is probably not the same. You can avoid that by clicking on the link with the RIGHT mouse button, and then choose from the pop up menu something like 'save target as'.

no attachements with the list, cannot comment

It's probably OK, you just have to go through this now, you're nearly there.
1) You need to install gimp-devel
I needed cups-devel and also gtk-devel
My workstation that the printer is attached to is running RedHat7.2, and my Server is running SUSE, so I have not compiled the gimp-print on SuSE, but I have now run the configure on my SuSE box and it is OK.
I compiled it on Suse 7.2 just yesterday, after installing cups-devel and gtk-devel from the original CDs. No problem, it worked fineI can print now.
Funny that SuSE do not install flex as part of the default development tools?? (I also had to install it now)
I can't remember that I needed to install this, it seems to be already on my box.
Remember to run the configure with the cups option: ./configure --with-cups
Yes! Happy New Year! Matt

Another way to do this is press shift while pressing the left mouse button.

I use the Download manager for X. Works very simple. You just drag or copy & Paste a link onto it and it will download it. You can choose the directory for each download you add. You can also add a whole list and schedule downloads to start at a certain time. Very similar to download managers available for Widoze. It is included on the SuSE installation CD's (7.2 anyway) The package name is 'nt' for some reason. -- Andre Truter Software Engineer Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 AIM: trusoftzaf <-------------------------------------------------> < The box said: Requires Windows 95 or better... > < So I installed Linux > <------------------------------------------------->

Thanks for pointing that out, I never would have known that "nt" is a download manager. I think I'll stick with shift-left-click on problem links though except for big or batch downloads for now, but it's nice to know that I have that option.
