Description aaa bbb 2005-11-20 22:48:49 UTC

The header files for the cups printing library are missing. This does not allow to compile third party printer drivers such as the linux printerdriver for Canon inkjet drivers.

According to the Canon Licensing information, this drivers are GPL'ed. It would be nice if they could be integrated into the distribution.

Install the cups-devel package.

Note:
To compile software from source you may need many other packages.
It is no bug when the default installation does not contain all
those many packages which you may need to compile this or that
software from source.
