Bold white foreground lines are packages that are currently installed and not changed and dim white are un-installed ones available but not installed. Red background lines are problems/warnings (but only if on something that needs to be installed or you want installed) Green lines are packages to be installed Purple lines are packages to be uninstalled and Cyan lines are packages (on the preview tab) that will be updated (on other tabs there will be a purple/green pair of lines). Use - t to access the menu and don't forget to do a - t U to update the package list (aptitude and apt-get are two separate utilities and each needs to have it's lists updated to keep their idea of what packages are around up to date.) Here is a capture of the information for that package on my Debian (Wheezy) PC (not a Pi!):Īny line in an aptitude tab beginning with - can be expended by selecting that line (with / arrows) and hitting and -\ lines collapsed in the same way. If that seems to be the case (the previous paragraph did not solve your problem) try running sudo aptitude - without any arguments aptitude runs as a text-mode application and it can show you the interrelation between packages and if there is a problem it offers an interactive means to fix things. The problem you are experiencing is that the extra package you have requested is later than the ones already installed but apt-get does not know (without running the "update" instruction) that new versions for all the interconnected packages have become available.!įailing that it may be that (temporarily) one or more packages have not been updated on the servers so that there is a mix of updated and un-updated both on the server and you have got a mix of both. You have just done a: sudo apt-get update first haven't you (things can change on a daily basis) then try the sudo apt-get install cups-driver-gutenprint again. That ofcourse also has the added benefit of offering a genuine Ubuntu/Debian package instead of doing a rather messy (but functional) 'sudo make install' for files that are inside different packages in the repos, i.e.libgutenprint2 and printer-driver-gutenprint.I would check that you really have an up-to-date list of packages available from the servers that you are using. So to get around that it is advised to wait untill the PPA build will be available, which shouldn't be long. configure -disable-test -enable-maintainer-mode -without-doc in this case.īuilding succeeded on a 13.10 machine but on irc it was discovered that people on 12.04 (and potentially 12.10 and people still on 13.04) are seeing errors pertaining to libusb. Autogen has already been done, so step 2. tar.bz2 file located at the above steps need 1 small change. The above instructions assumed that you downloaded the tarball from CVS at. Expected time-frame: and everyone who wants to build from the gutenprint 5.2.10-pre1 tarball: We'll update this thread as soon as the builds are completed. Thanks.Ī very kind and knowledgeable helper on #ubuntu is preparing gutenprint 5.2.10-pre1 in a PPA. I apologize as I know this is incredibly basic, but any help would be much appreciated. I got step 1, but where do i need to cd into in order to accomplish step 2? I've locate three different gutenprint folders, none of which have "print" as a directory inside. Thank you very much for this step-by-step. optional: run gimp and check the availability/test of the gutenprint driver open CUPS interface at and add the pixma mg2520 printer if not already present:ħ. autogen.sh -disable-test -enable-maintainer-mode -without-docĦ. configure the source (inside the extracted gutenprint/print dir): $ sudo apt-get install libgutenprint-dev libgimp2.0-dev libijs-dev libgs-dev foomatic-db-gutenprintĢ. check for needed/wanted dependencies before building: If this part of the procedure fails you, this is the easy part. 6) Copy the file photogp.8be from the PhotoGP/plugins/Photoshop folder to your import/export folder of 32bit Photoshop. 5) Select the Install button to set the path environment and then exit out. Short overview of the routine to build the gutenprint 5.2.10 driver from source:ġ. 3) Extract the contents of the zip file to this new folder. Īlso try to ask official Canon email support () which specific other linux driver is available/usable for the pixma mg2520, explaining this unfortunate situation.īest of luck and as always #ubuntu on irc is there to assist in further attempts to get these machines working. I suggest contacting the maintainer of the PPA through its launchpad page to report this. People looking for a Canon driver for pixma mg2520 are left in the unfortunate situation that neither the manufacturer nor the PPA can offer a solution. It offers cndrvcups-common (Canon Printer Driver Common Modules) but this package is only available for amd64 ubuntu's and has an unsatisfiable dependency against cndrvcups-common-32, which is only available as i386, effectively rendering both as uninstallable on both 32bit and 64bit OS'es. While trying to assist jose23 on #ubuntu () it was discovered that the PPA offering Canon Printer Drivers () isn't usable in its present state.
