First of all thanks for Your support, but
this one doesnt work either. When i try to install my BJC3000 printer, and select the gutenprint driver, it still says that dhe driver cannot be loaded. Here's my situation now:
ii cupsys-driver-gutenprint 4.3.99+cvs20060521-4 printer drivers for CUPS
ii foomatic-db-gutenprint 4.3.99+cvs20060521-4 linuxprinting.org printer support - database f
ii ijsgutenprint 4.3.99+cvs20060521-4 inkjet server - Ghostscript driver for Gutenpr
ii libgutenprint2 4.3.99+cvs20060521-4 runtime for the Gutenprint printer driver libr
ii libgutenprintui2-1 4.3.99+cvs20060521-4 runtime for the Gutenprint printer driver user
ii cupsys 1.1.23-10sarge1 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server
ii cupsys-bsd 1.1.23-10sarge1 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - BSD commands
ii cupsys-client 1.1.23-10sarge1 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - client progr
ii libcupsimage2 1.1.23-10sarge1 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - image libs
ii libcupsys2 1.1.23-10sarge1 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - dummy libs f
ii libcupsys2-gnutls10 1.1.23-10sarge1 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - libs

solved!
Solved!
I found out a way to get my gutenprint on bjc3000 to work on knoppix 5.0.1 cd hd-installation!
Here's how:
- I installed new with knoppix-installer. No need to get anything with apt-get.
- on my older Knoppix PC (4.0.2) i found the older .deb packages from gutenprint in its /var/cache/apt/archives and put them on the KNX5-PC
- remove the incomplete gutenprint-stuff with
apt-get remove ijsgimpprint cupsys-driver-gutenprint foomatic-db-gutenprint ijsgutenprint libgutenprint2 libgutenprintui2-1
- then install the .deb packages from the KNX4 PC with
dpkg -i libgutenprint2_4.3.99+cvs20060121.dfsg.1-1_i386.deb
dpkg -i cupsys-driver-gutenprint_4.3.99+cvs20060121.dfsg.1-1_i386.deb
- a reboot for safety reasons - and voila! I can install my printer and printing works with the gutenprint driver!!!
My "working" situation looks like this:
ii cups-pdf 2.2.0-1 PDF printer for CUPS
ii cupsconfig-knoppix 0.5-9 Minimalistic cups configuration script for KNO
ii cupsys 1.1.23-15 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server
ii cupsys-bsd 1.1.23-15 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - BSD commands
ii cupsys-client 1.1.23-15 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - client progr
ii libcupsimage2 1.1.23-15 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - image libs
ii libcupsys2 1.1.23-15 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - libs
ii cupsys-driver-gutenprint 4.3.99+cvs20060121.dfsg.1-1 printer drivers for CUPS
ii libgutenprint2 4.3.99+cvs20060121.dfsg.1-1 runtime for the Gutenprint printer driver libr
(As You can see, i didn't event touch cupsys.)
--> I think, with the right apt sources (in sources.list) you could also solve this with apt-get. All You need is an older version of the gutenprint stuff.

Sorry to hear it didn't work for you.
I notice your cups files are 1.1.23-10Sarge which is older than the default 1.1.23-15 version which comes with Knoppix. May be that's the problem? I didn't dare to touch my cups files because everytime I did, something went wrong. I just used the default Knoppix cups 1.1.23-15, and force installed gutenprint over it.
Why don't you try to simplify your situation and test to see what happens. Take the BJC3000 out of the network and make it local to your Knoppix computer. Then boot up with the LiveCD (ie leave aside the hard-disk installed version). Install gutenprint and then see if it works.
Looking at linuxprinting.org and the gutenprint sites, your BJC3000 is listed as supported by gutenprint and is the recommended driver. However I notice that it says that for the BJC300, it is "untested", whatever that means.

Congrats. My earlier reply crossed with yours, but good to hear you have fixed it. As you can see, your method led to the same result as mine since you now have CUPS 1.1.23-15 together with gutenprint 4.3.99 which is what I ended up with also. Looks like these versions of CUPS and gutenprint must go together.

Well, together with the gutenprint-version apt-get gave me (4.3.99+cvs20060521-4) it did NOT work on my machine, as mentioned Do Jul 27, 2006 10:00 am.
My situation now is a somewhat older gutenprint version (4.3.99+cvs20060121.dfsg.1-1), and this version also gives me no conflicts in apt dependencies, which is a very great plus! I dont have to ignore dependencies at all! (so no risk and no problem with further apt installations)
I can print on local printers as well as on ipp or smb printers here now. (this is what i've tested)

I still have trouble as described in the starting post.
Anyway, did anyone get plain text html when going to http://localhost:631?
-
Yes, i got plain text html code on this address in the non-working situations. Right now, this site is displayed properly, and printing works - as described above.

Thought I solved the problem after re-installing. However the problem came back after a few days. Strange but true.
After setting up the printer, I added some applications and a few days later, I could not print again. Got the same error described in the following thread:-
http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtop...ghlight=cupsys
I think Knoppix 5 got a major problem with cupsys. It causing me some embarassment. Might have to revert back to Knoppix 4.
