Konica Minolta:

I have a 5430dl and the drivers that I have come with some directions and I am unsure what to do. Can someone help me?

These RPMS file do not work with Suse x86_64 because Suse uses /usr/lib64 directory for 64bit CUPS filters.

To make rpm for SUse, user need install cups-devel/liblcms-devel; download/build libjbig-devel from mandrake distribution first, then

run “rpmbuild -tb magicolorxxxxDL.tar.gz”

OK, I built this driver for SLED10 64bit, and have the RPM if anybody needs it.

ftp://ftp.quative.tv/pub/magicolor5430DL-1.8.1-1.x86_64.rpm

Src RPM :
ftp://ftp.quative.tv/pub/magicolor5430DL-1.8.1-1.x86_64.src.rpm

If you want to build it yourself, do the following :

get jbigkit from here :

JBIG-KIT lossless image compression library

Extract it and do a make

Copy the .h files to /usr/include
Copy the .a files to /usr/lib64

Get the source from the Konica Minolta site :
http://printer.konicaminolta.net/drivers/linux/5430DL_lin64bit_1_8_1.zip (source inside)

In the src directory, extract the .tar.gz file.

There will be a file called kmlf.spec
Edit this file and change this line :

BuildRequires: cups-devel >= 1.1.15, libjbig-devel

to

BuildRequires: cups-devel >= 1.1.15

Install the cups-devel package from SLED, and then do :

rpmbuild -ba kmlf.spec

This presumes you have rpm building all setup and working.

If not, and you just need the raster2km5430dl file, then simply do

./configure
make

and copy raster2km5430dl to /usr/lib64/cups/filter/
and copy km5430dl.ppd.gz to /usr/share/cups/model/KONICA_MINOLTA/

Job done.

What a pain in the bum though. You’d think KM would have just put the file in /usr/lib64 as well using a single RPM !

I am very glad they supply the source though ! Kudos KM, Kudos.
