Can't install CUPS

Don't seem to have CUPS on my Mandriva 2008 box. Tried to install it via software management but get errror message saying: " Cant install CUPS Printing System".

 

Here's the console output whilst I was checking to get CUPS installed:

 

david@localhost ~]$ su

Password:

[root@localhost david]# rpm -qa | grep cups

libcups2-1.3.6-1.2mdv2008.0

libgnomecups-0.2.2-4mdv2008.0

libgnomecups-1.0_1-0.2.2-4mdv2008.0

cups-devel-1.0.4-1

[root@localhost david]# urpmi cups

A requested package cannot be installed:

cups-common-1.3.6-1.2mdv2008.0.i586 (due to unsatisfied libslp.so.1)

Continue installation anyway? (Y/n)

 

 

Any ideas,

 

Thanks, David.

You need libopenslp1. Please post the output of

rpm -qa | grep libopenslp1

If it's not listed, you may need to reconfigure (or update) your software sources.

Here's the output:

 

[david@localhost ~]$ su root

Password:

[root@localhost david]# rpm -qa | grep libopenslp1

[root@localhost david]#

 

Looks like it's not listed - will update software sources and post back.

 

Thanks, David.

I don't think there is any chance to make it work.

Most Lexmark printers, including that one, have absolutely no support for Linux- even from commercial drivers, like Turboprint.

 

You can surely *see* the printer (lsusb in a root console), but it's highly unlikely that you'll make it work, or someone will ever bother issuing a ppd for it.

If you cannot dispose it and replace it by a supported printer, then simply use it via windoze/VirtualBox.
