Uff - that gives satisfaction. I sorted out things but that's miracle. Perhaps that's why people loves Linux despite it not logical.

HOW TO INSTALL CANON i950 on LINUX SUSE 10.1?

I think that the effort and steps are worth recapping. If you need you can send the email.

There are two critical links that help.

1) First look at Drivers needed You will find there a list of rpm packages you need. The famous canon japan ftp site with i950 drivers is at Japan. My comment is that I don't need bjfilter-common and compat. Playing just with: bjfilterpixus950i-2.2-2.i386.rpm and bjfiltercups-2.2-2.i386.rpm is ok. Compat is only for extracting libs.

2) The second link I copied here because it is critical and it seems to me that it may disappear soon. Craig Milo Rogers described the procedure as follows.

I would just turn your attention to following:

1. Be sure that you download compat from SUSE 9.1. That is not easy nowadays.
2. When you unpack compat to get libpng.so.2.1.0.12 use
   Quote:

   rpm -ivh --nodeps --relocate /=targetdir --root=targetdir package.rpm

3. In my case instead of /usr/local/lib I needed /usr/lib path. The symbolic link is in the same directory.
4. Use
   Quote:

   /sbin/ldconfig -l libpng.so.2.1.0.12

   for linking the libpng library
5. One also need to know how to set the user and password for cups to get to the config interface via http (localhost:631). You need to use command
   Quote:

   lppasswd -a youruser

   . He will ask you for password. It should be launched by root for sure.
