I'm sorry the .deb didn't work Since it did for me, please somebody test that so that I can understand where's the problem... I really want to learn making those things. Ah, and I forgot to tell that I installed it as root with dpkg -i filename.deb and not with the application manager.

That might make the difference -- I used the application manager and got an "incompatable package" error. Sorry that I didn't say that in the earlier post.
Thanks, K.

I believe the above problem is because the Application Manager only wants to install packages in the 'user' section. You could try to change (in the control file)
Code:
Section: system
Code:
Section: user/extra

this all seems too complicated. i have yet even tried to do printing from my desktop to my printer, which is connect to a win box.
So yea, while this is really cool, i'll need some time to look through this. Besides, 100 mb seems pretty huge just for printing.

I understand it is large for an IT, but it is just the normal software used for printing on linux. It does include samba which could be removed if not printing to a printer connected to a windows system. But I figured, I want to print to windows systems, so I included it.
The instructions are straight forward and printing is working great, pictures, text, pdfs (at least from XFCE) If you are wanting to print, first think about why you want it and what you will use to print from?

I want a Brother MFC driver. Is it as simple as building it? The driver on the Brother site was for i386. I experimented with the RAW and other drivers, but no luck.

Printing PDFs from the command line (without xfce) works really well. Advanced features such as multiple pages per sheet work flawlessly.
This was definately worth the effort of booting from my 4gb internal SD card to get enough room to make it work.

I am working on updating KDE with a working version of CUPS.
Its working good so far, I was able to print pdf's, web pages from Konq. Also the screen shot utility also allows printing directly, as do many other programs. Should be soon, but dont expect many other improvments, only printing support working....
Its been a while since I used KDE on IT, wow, its really cool if I do say so myself.
And I dooooo
