[KLUG Members] lpr and cups wrapper install problem

[Nikolas Reist]

I know with my Dell 720 I had to download the lexmark drivers and force them to install because even though it fit the requirements, SuSE had it set up weird.  Try with rpm -ivh file.rpm --nodeps.  I know if you use the -U flag and don't have it installed already that can cause issue.

Subject: [KLUG Members] lpr and cups wrapper install problem


Hello All,
    I have a Brother DCP7020 printer/scanner that I am trying to
install the lpr driver and the cups wrapper on my SUSE 10.0
distribution installed on and IBM T30. I've downloaded the rpm's
and tried to install them with YAST. YAST told me the
installation source was not refreshed. I was told by Novell they
didn't know how to solve that. STFW revealed lots of similar
problems. I did go to the YAST control center, installation
source and found the directory's listed but was unable to refresh
any except the SUSE Linux entry with the url of cd:///. Okay, I
can go to software management from the YAST control center, click
the filter to package groups and then scroll all the way down
where i find an entry called utilities with both the lpr and cups
wrapper listed with the lpr package with a padlock icon. So the
lpr is installed?? However when I try to install the cups wrapper
YAST tells me i have a dependency conflict, that
cupswrapperDCP7020 requires lpr. Okay, so I'll venture into the
land of command line, start a root terminal, change to the proper
directory and install lpr. Then I try for the cups wrapper and
this is what I get:


> linux:/home/peter/downloads # rpm -Uvh brdcp7020lpr-1.1.2-4.i386.rpm
> Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
>    1:brdcp7020lpr           ########################################### [100%]
> linux:/home/peter/downloads # rpm -Uvh cupswrapperdcp7020-1.0.1-2.i386.rpm
> error: open of cupswrapperdcp7020-1.0.1-2.i386.rpm failed: No such file or directory
> linux:/home/peter/downloads # rpm -Uvh cupswrapperDCP7020-1.0.1-2.i386.rpm
> error: Failed dependencies:
>         lpr is needed by cupswrapperDCP7020-1.0.1-2

    I then installed the scanner driver successfully, this is what i
saw:

> linux:/home/peter/downloads # rpm -Uvh brscan-0.2.1-0.i386.rpm
> Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
>         package brscan-0.2.1-0 is already installed

    From past recent experience I know it's something that I'm
doing/not doing that will be painfully obvious to even me
probably as soon as tomorrow.
<sigh>
