Hy i just bought a brand new canon mp 550. Suse 11.3 does not have the driver for that and i also tried with th 500 or the 520 driver but no succes. I downloaded from canon site theyr driver and i tried to install it, but when i type sh install.sh in terminal i get this error
Execution command = rpm -Uvh ./packages/cnijfilter-common-3.20-1.i386.rpm

Execution command = rpm -e cnijfilter-common

i tried to search and install the missing package via yast but i can’t find it. Please someone help i really don’t wanna switch again os due to driver problems.

i tried to search and install the missing package via yast but i can’t find it.

what package did you search for, and how?

open yast’s software management, go to ‘search,’ and under ‘search in’ enable the option “RPM Provides.” then paste “libpng12.so.0” into the search field, and you should find the missing package. (you have to have the OSS repo installed, which normally should be the case.)

–i’m using openSUSE 11.3, of course. if you’re using a different version, things may or may not have changed…

zypper wp libpng12.so.0

package that contain this lib is “libpng12-0”

sudo zypper in libpng12-0

…provided “sudo” is set up on your system. by default, at least on my machine, it’s not. in that case, if you want to avoid the graphical yast interface, you have to do:

su [provide your root password]
zypper in libpng12-0

Thanks it worked like a charm. I searched under the RPM Provides and it showed up. I only had the 64 bit version installed not the 32 bit one, and the canon has only 32 bit drivers. After i rerun install witch is quite “click click next” and my MP 550 printer works perfectly under Suse 11.3 x64.
Thanks again
