Installing a second Canon printer [Solved]

[Austlig]

I successfully installed an iP4850 (cnijfilter-3.40.ebuild) using the method described by Fitzcarraldo (Canon PIXMA 500 (and similar printers) 17 Oct 2007). Works perfectly. I have just tried to install an MX320 Canon printer (cnijfilter-3.10.ebuild) , using the same method. It did not generate a separate manifest, instead it combined the two. And when I tried to set the USE flag it did not recognise the command. Is there another way to do this?

a) You have incorrectly used a hyphen instead of an equals sign. USE="<flag>", not USE-"<flag>".

b) If you want to install two different versions of the same package (cnijfilter, in this case) then slot them. Edit the latest ebuild and change the line:

Code: Select all

SLOT="0"

to:

Code: Select all

SLOT="1"

When I got the "=" and not the "-", I re-installed the 3.10 ebuild and did the ebuild. When I tried to set the USE flag, it reinstalled the 3.40 ebuild and told me I had not set a USE flag. So - I removed the manifest and the 3.40 ebuild and re-installed the 3.10 ebuild, ebuild it and got:

sabayon cnijfilter # rm /usr/local/portage/net-print/cnijfilter/cnijfilter-3.40-r3.ebuild
sabayon cnijfilter # rm /usr/local/portage/net-print/cnijfilter/Manifest
sabayon cnijfilter # cp /home/rob/cnijfilter-3.10.ebuild /usr/local/portage/net-print/cnijfilter
sabayon cnijfilter # ebuild /usr/local/portage/net-print/cnijfilter/cnijfilter-3.10.ebuild manifest
>>> Creating Manifest for /usr/local/portage/net-print/cnijfilter
sabayon cnijfilter # USE="mx320" emerge -v cnijfilter

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "virtual/ghostscript".
(dependency required by "net-print/cnijfilter-3.10" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "cnijfilter" [argument])
sabayon cnijfilter #

Is the 3.10 ebuild redundant??

[Fitzcarraldo]

You need to edit the ebuild and, in the list of dependencies, replace "virtual/ghostscript" with "app-text/ghostscript-gpl". Then you need to generate a new manifest, and then merge (install) the package.

Got it, works perfectly, thanks for your help.
