Printer driver installation problem.

Has anyone been able to successfuly compile the Gimp-Print 4.2.6 driver? (release jan/11/2004)
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/

It fails during "make" with errors like the following:

Code:

printdefy.h:87: error: conflicting types for `YYSTYPE'
printdef.h:97: error: previous declaration of `YYSTYPE'
printdefy.h:93: error: conflicting types for `yylval'
printdef.h:99: error: previous declaration of `yylval'
printdefy.y: In function `yyparse':
printdefy.y:126: error: request for member `sval' in something not a structure or union

This probably because I am "all thumbs" and a newbie.

Has anyone done this successfuly ?

Thanks

Update:
Now it seems like there are problems with CUPS.
When I try to run the KDE print manager the following error occurs:

Code:

Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that the CUPS server is correctly installed and running. Error: connection refused

Someone suggested to do this as root: "/etc/init.d/cupsys start", so as to start the cups daemon. Also, this line was added at the end of /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
However, this did not have any effect.

Any ideas ?

P.S. localhost:631 will not work either: "Connection refused"
