i'm trying to get cups running with my hp laserjet 2200D. i have sucessfully installed cups. when i attempt to create a new printer it doesn't have the 2200D driver. i'm under the impression that i need to install 'foomatic' but when i do the foomatic-db package fails to emerge---i have the foomatic-db-engine and foomatic-filters already installed. following is the snippet related to emerging net-print/foomatic-db
Code: |
# emerge -v -p net-print/foomatic-db
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild N ] net-print/foomatic-db-20030716 +cups +ppds
# emerge net-print/foomatic-db
[...]
