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
~/Downloads/prp085iiit-1.0.0 $ make
[100%] Building C object CMakeFiles/rasterto_prp085iiit.dir/source/rasterto_prp085iiit.c.o
/home/username/Downloads/prp085iiit-1.0.0/source/rasterto_prp085iiit.c:15:23: fatal error: cups/cups.h: No such file or directory

compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/rasterto_prp085iiit.dir/source/rasterto_prp085iiit.c.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/rasterto_prp085iiit.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
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
[sudo] password for username:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package 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
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
