I will ask Canon for an update of this printer driver for a Canon Pixma MP540. But anyway if Fedora 19 will not handle this driver, I have to buy a commercial Linux printer driver.
Another question: Why can Cups only serve the paper feeder in the back and not that one in the front side of this printer-scanner? I.e. Sane can handle the scanner part very good.
Kind Regards

They've linked dynamically against a very old version of libtiff. libtiff is not listed in LSB that I can see, so we're not obliged to carry some old version of it for LSB compliance, and Fedora in general is reluctant to carry -compat packages with old builds of libraries unless there's a really clear need for it, and one random printer driver probably doesn't constitute a 'really clear need'. The only thing Fedora could potentially do here is introduce a libtiff3-compat or whatever package, but I doubt that'd happen, and barring that, all you can do is source some old build of libtiff yourself, or ask Canon to improve their driver package. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
