I think the post you are referring to was mine, and this is what I
posted:
I had exactly the same problem with my K80. See my post to this
list:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/shrike-list/2003-April/msg00610.html
In particular, see Tim Waugh's reply:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/shrike-list/2003-April/msg00668.html
which solved my problem.
There is also this bugzilla entry which has more info:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88086
The rawhide repository (the unstable, testing version of the next Red
Hat release) is here:
http://rawhide.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/
In my case, what I did was to download the packages I *knew* I needed,
tried to install them using
rpm -Uvh <package1>.rpm <package2>.rpm ... <packageN>.rpm
and then checked to see what dependencies were not met, and downloaded
the appropriate packages and tried again (from rawhide) until it all
went well.
Of course, you could try using apt-get and/or yum to solve all your
dependency problems but someone else on this list will need to tell you
how to do that.
If you have more problems I would be glad to help - as I said in my
earlier post I managed to get my printer working like a charm - but
you'll need to be more explicit about what you have tried to do (that I
suggested) which didn't work.
Best, Darren
