Generally speaking, that family of software can be installed from tarballs. Instead of using 'make install' as the final step, use checkinstall, very latest (1.60-beta3) version, to actually do an rpm installation. I've done that here. But if you have yum enabled for automatic updates, add cups*, gimp-print*, and gutenprint* to the exclude list. Otherwise yum has been known to downgrade my cups install to one that totally breaks kde. You would be advised to join the gimp-print list, there has been quite an extended discussion of the r200 and cousins recently. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
