Comiling gimp-print on RH9 gives error


Hello everyone.
I just got new printer (Canno S200SPx), I looked on the net for drivers and found
that only driver there is, is included into gimp-print-4.2.6. I'm using CUPS as my printing system. So I connected the printer, cheacked if it works (with S300 driver). Then I downloaded gimp-print source unpacked it
./configure
does not give me any errors.
Then I do make and it compiles some files for couple of minutes then it shows:
...
No foomatic printer IDs for gimp-print printer escp2-2200.
No foomatic printer IDs for gimp-print printer escp2-c41ux.
No foomatic printer IDs for gimp-print printer escp2-1520.
No foomatic printer IDs for gimp-print printer pcl-3.
Cannot continue
make[3]: *** [foomatic-stamp] Error 25
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/cat/Install/gimp-print/gimp-print-4.2.6/src/foomatic'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/cat/Install/gimp-print/gimp-print-4.2.6/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/cat/Install/gimp-print/gimp-print-4.2.6'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2
Plz help me with that.
I don't want to install windoze again just to use my printer

YES! IT WORKS FINALLY!!!
After I spent 14 hours non-stop trying to get this printer to work it actually works
ok after it gave me that error after "make" I tried to do "make install" hoping that it's going to work. And it did! Then some simple configuration of CUPS and it's done.
I'll post the whole proccess tommorow step by step so other ppl won't do all stupid steps I did...
