Hi,

I have a problem installing printer driver for my printer on CentOS 6. I downloaded the driver from

http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010647.asp

Download RPM Linux Printer Driver (3.0) by submitting:
Linux
English


After I downloaded the package, and run

UPDATE
# rpm -i cnijfilter-common-3.00-1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libc.so.6 is needed by cnijfilter-common-3.00-1.i386
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by cnijfilter-common-3.00-1.i386
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1) is needed by cnijfilter-common-3.00-1.i386
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3) is needed by cnijfilter-common-3.00-1.i386
libcups.so.2 is needed by cnijfilter-common-3.00-1.i386
libpopt.so.0 is needed by cnijfilter-common-3.00-1.i386

I went to http://rpmfind.net, and search for libc.so.6, which returns many links. I don't know which file to download.


I am a Linux newbie, Could anyone kindly provide advice?

See if Centos do a printer driver package, and install that with yum.

Other approaches:
rpm -ivh says more of what's going on. You can search on www.rpmfind.net for an rpm containing the missing file. Choose a Red Hat/Centos rpm

If you want to try it anyhow without the file, there are options like --nodeps and --force which basically tell rpm's safety end too play in the traffic and it's business end to install anyhow.

This is usually a bad idea unless you decide librc.io is not something you need

Please see my update in the original post.

Your CentOS 6 seems to be 64bits. The 'uname -m' command will show.
... Some 32 bits packages must be installed :

# yum install glibc.i686 cups-libs.i686 popt.i686

Then you can do : # rpm -Uvh cnijfilter-common-3.00-1.i386.rpm


P.S. : Glibc is always installed.
Glibc is your OS. Together with the kernel.
Installing a random glibc : You will not be able to use the OS ever again.

.

Thank you for your advice.

My CentOS 6.3 is 64 bit. I will follow your advice, and update the result afterwards.

Thanks again.

I am able to install cnijfilter-common-3.00-1.i386.rpm following your two commands.

But I have problem installing the other package:

# rpm -Uvh cnijfilter-ip1900series-3.00-1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:

libxml2.so.2 is needed by cnijfilter-ip1900series-3.00-1.i386


How can I identify which package to install?

Please note that I use Fedora 17 now, instead of CentOS 6.3.

# 6

Finding a <package> that provides file :

yum provides */<file>
Example : yum provides */libatk-1.0.so.0

# yum install atk.i686 gtk2.i686 libpng.i686 libxml2.i686


.

Thank you for your advice.

I am able to install it, like below:

# rpm -Uvh cnijfilter-ip1900series-3.00-1.i386.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:cnijfilter-ip1900series########################################### [100%]


However, it seems the printer is not installed completely. I cannot use it.

I tried System Settings -> Printers -> Add New Printer, but after I click Add button, a installation windows pops up, and disappears. Is there a system log that I can find out the reason?
