Re: Canon printer/scanner driver installation problem Fedora 18 Beta

[Joerg Lechner <julechner@xxxxxxx>]

I don't know wether "libtiff.so,3" is needed in Fedora 18 or not.  I try to install my Canon printer (Canon Pixma MP 540) on Fedora 18 Beta (32bit and also 64bit). Cups+Gutenprint v5.2.9 Simple allows me to print, but the paper feed in front of the printer (cassette) does not work, paper feed works only with the feeder in the backside, used normally for photo prints. Therefore I would like to install the original Canon printer driver. There I hope, that printing is totally ok. The current result with Yumex is:

Fehler beim Aufloesen der Abhaengigkeiten:
Paket: cnijfilter-mp540series-3.00-1.i386 (/cnijfilter-mp540series-3.00-1.i386)
    Benoetigt: libtiff.so.3

This driver downloaded via the Canon Homepage is:
Dateiversion: 3.0
Dateigroeße: 12.1 MB
Dateiname: MP540_RPM_drivers.tar

The last driver update seems to be done in: 09-Apr-10

Warm regards

Joerg

That query was running on rawhide so it looks like that in this moment
rawhide repos still provide it.  Personally I do not care but if
somebody needs this there is still place to find it outside of koji.

Very good.  If you really need that library you can always make a loader
to load it from a non-standard path.

That is true but you are still not out of options.
