Except the installation of cups devel package, have you passed special parameters to your compilation of libgtk ???

No special parameters. Only dpkg-buildpackage with libcups2-dev installed.

Really strange, correct me if I'm false, but my new version of libgtk seem to be OK since I can use gtklp ...

gtklp works without the modified gtk packages, so it doesn't
indicate correct gtk packages.

Both my parallel and n/w printers are HP. I have downloaded HPLIP and all the Foomatic stuff to my pc.

HPLIP contains pre-prepared ppd files but the filter must be created by compiling various classes (cpp & header files). I think the eventual output is in fact a GUI interface but not totally sure.

For Foomatic, everything is in xml files. A couple of c files need to be compiled to create to ppd files from the relevant xml file.

The printer installs fine when using the HPLIP but I cannot print because CUPS is looking for hpcups, as listed in the ppd file from HPLIP.

Do I need to compile on the device? I don't mind doing so. It's just not that user friendly. Suppose because there is only one device (N900), each driver could go into a repo once someone had created it for their printer? Any suggestions of which compiler in the sdk repo?

Which way should I go about this - HPLIP or Foomatic?

- have you printed from Maemo or Easy Debian?
- what type of printer have you used wifi/network, usb or BT
- did you need to sort out the ppd file separately, or is that what you're in awe about (no need to do anything)?
- I'm not an Easy Debian user.
- I have a CUPS server on my network gateway with a USB Epson Photo R800 printer.
- No .ppd installs were necessary.

I haven't confirmed with pcap, but it appears CUPS' web interface likes to 301-redirect you to whatever host on the network is advertising the printer you wish to use. Which was unexpectedly, surprisingly sensible and easy.

If they're HP, unless they're plotters, they probably can do generic postscript. Just us the generic postscript PPD and you should be fine. I chose the generic PS in the setup and print just fine to an HP2200 and HP8500 with no issue (in color and b&w, with duplexer). You only need Foomatic if you're converting to something off, like PCL for a plotter, or printing to an Epson or such that doesn't know generic postscript.
