You might want to actually ask a question... And a please / thank you would be polite. And use a decent and informative thread title.
But I presume you don't have pdftoppm installed? It's in the poppler-utils package. And if you do not have this available via RHN / yum, you should not be runnign RHEL in the first place.
..where you had a printer issue, and we had to keep asking for information. Did you load the package(s) mentioned by acid_kewpie? How? Where did you get them?
Did you, or are you now paying for your (old) installation of RHEL? If so, you should be easily able to load the poppler software and all of the dependencies via a simple yum command. And, all of this is already covered in the Red Hat knowledgebase...which, since you're paying, you have access to.

Thats what iam receiving when i try to install the poppler package
yum install poppler-utils
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
Setting up Install Process
Package poppler-utils-0.5.4-19.el5.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
So where did you get the name from; does the manufacturer provide a special rpm containing the driver?
Is it specified to run on the version of Linux you have?
They should also provide instructions.
the name of the driver i got it from the supplier of the printer which is Intermec, in order install the driver which i downloaded from their portal. In order to install the driver cupsdriver i have to run it as ./build.sh which returns error of missing utility ... pdftoppm
thank you guys i managed to install the driver, i had to downlaod xpdf-3.02pl2-linux.tar.gz
for a portal then copied pdftoppm to /usr//bin the ran ./build.sh it worked wonders thanks all
