If you intend to use <application>escputil</application> with a USB-connected
Epson Stylus printer for commands such as <command>--ink-level</command>
which need to access the raw device, you must enable the kernel's usblp
driver. Enable the following options in your kernel configuration and
recompile the kernel:

<title>Installation of Gutenprint</title>
<para>Install <application>Gutenprint</application> by running the
following commands:</para>
<screen><userinput>sed -i 's|$(PACKAGE)/doc|doc/$(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION)|' \
{,doc/,doc/developer/}Makefile.in &amp;&amp;
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>
<!-- this is supposed to discourage you from running the tests if you upgrade
the package - I suppose you could sed the tests/Makefile to only run 'curve',
and perhaps 'run-testdither', it's 'run-weavetest' which takes most of the time -->
<para>To test the results, issue: <command>make check</command>. When last
tested (version 5.2.7, LFS-7.1, on a uniprocessor box which is admittedly short of
memory) this took more than 800 SBUs (more than two days for that box) and used an
extra 678 MB of disk space.</para>

libraries being installed.</para>

FIXME - delete this on next version upgrade
<para><option>\-\-with-translated-ppds=no</option>: When this parameter is
given, only US English PPD files for <application>CUPS</application>
will be built. Useful if the PPD files are not yet translated into your
native language and you want to save some space by not installing unneeded
translations.</para>-->
