Strange printer driver error

Have a Canon ip4300 connected via USB to laptop running opensuse 11. Trying to install the cnijfilter-ip4300-2.70-2.i386.rpm and cnijfilter-common-2.70-2.src.rpm.

As root
3000N200:/home/ben/Desktop # rpm -Uvh cnijfilter-common-2.70-2.src.rpm
1:cnijfilter-common warning: user adminv270 does not exist - using root
warning: group adminv270 does not exist - using root
########################################### [100%]
warning: user adminv270 does not exist - using root
warning: group adminv270 does not exist - using root

and the other file fails because of the above
3000N200:/home/ben/Desktop # rpm -Uvh cnijfilter-ip4300-2.70-2.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
cnijfilter-common >= 2.70 is needed by cnijfilter-ip4300-2.70-2.i386

Any ideas please?

Thanks

Did you try this one?
ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/bj/linux/cnijfilter-common-2.70-1.i386.rpm

You might want to wait for one of the forum admins or older members to answer, but maybe you have to try the --nodeps option. I’ve used that when there are circular dependencies, when a certain package provides a file, but also requires it before it can be installed. Sort of the chicken and the egg problem.

The ‘cnijfilter-common’ is a source code package, and will not be usable
in it’s current state.

The cnijfilter-ip4300 package is correct, go back and download the i386
version of the cnijfilter-common’ rpm and try again.

The ‘user adminv270’ and ‘group adminv270’ warnings are just that, warnings
that the user/group indicated in the rpm are non-existant on your system,
so the system did the proper thing and installed them with root as owner.
Not a problem there at all. Ignore those.

Hope that helps.

Thats great - many thanks to you both.

Hi,

Sorry to resurrect an old (well lets face it, ancient thread!)

I am trying to install a Canon Pixma iP4300. I am using the ‘common’ driver recommended earlier in this thread but am getting an error screen

any idea how to resolve?

are you using a 64bit system?
