[other] USB to Thermal receipt printer TYSSO PRP-085IIIT keep getting errors topic






Hello world
I'm trying to switch from windows 8.1 to LinuxMint 17.1 rebecca
In the process of installing my Thermal receipt printer in this new enviroment, I found it rather dificult, I looked at other similar printers wikis but no one could be as hard as this one because of the low demand.
So finaly I found something relevant in a russian website:

http://www.kaa.org.ua/programmi/dray...p-085iiit.html

I started as he say from source:
1 Click download at the bottom of the screen, then agree their therms, then get your file downloaded in Downloads folder
2 extract the file with command line in Terminal: tar -xvf prp085iiit-1.0.0.tar.bz2
3 get inside the created folder with command line: cd prp085iiit-1.0.0
4 command line: cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .
if you get an error is because you miss some packages, surfing a bit I found the reason, if I still remember, download and install c++, and get back to step 3
5 command line: make
then this error

Quote:

I'm stuck there could you help me?

Then I tryed the second option for ubuntu, kinda hard to figure out because I installed Mint 17.1 MATE 64, and in their wiki it says compatible with most of hardwares.
1 Click on Menu system section select Software Manager, put your password, then head to where you place your repositoryes and add source:
deb http://www.kaa.org.ua/ubuntu binary/ нажмите кнопку Add sources.
2 Open Terminal then copy paste:
sudo apt-get install prp085iiit

~ $ sudo apt-get install prp085iiit

This is getting depressing, I think I messed up with repository, or I can't acces to it, do you know a SURE way to add new repository? like from therminal instead of GUIs
I messed up even more now I can't acces to Software Manager, I think I got to reinstall OS

In the same time I was reading wikis in cups.org about PPD and tryed adding my printer manually:
1 Click Menu, section System, click Control Center, section Hardware, click Printers
2 Plug your printer to USB port then click on Add printer
3 Select device: Unknown, Forward, select Provide PPD file, remember the tar we downloaded? head there in the source folder and select it, then Forward and Apply!
THEN BANG

Quote:





Missing driver
Printer 'Tysso-PRP-085IIIT-2' requires the '/usr/lib/cups/filter/rasterto_prp085iiit' program but it is not currently installed. Please install it before using this printer.




4 I tryed to do a Test print but the printer doen't work and it is still stuck there telling me somme filter error


OMG I spent my time to dawn on this damn PC, I might be so stupid but com'on I don't have an IT background, just a college license and I don't read russian.
Another thing in openprinting.org in Tysso printers section they have only this model available but the PPD file is still empty so when we solve this treath I hope someone get there and spread the word
http://www.openprinting.org/printer/...so-PRP-085IIIT
I hope you guys can figure all 3 way out in your spare time, and in the meanwille I will use Windows 7, sorry if my english sucks, I'm used to get 6/10 in english classes.):P
