| # now, open up the printer control panel and choose the driver for the printer (Manufacturer is listed as FX) |
It looks like the driver doesn't live at http://download.fujixerox.co.jp/pub/exe/apeosport/c4300series/fxlinuxprint-1.0.3-1.i386.rpm anymore. Have a look here for a replacement/newer version: http://www.fujixerox.co.jp/download/apeosport/download/c4300series/linux/
Many thanks, that did the trick :)
Hi there i tried to run the .sh file with the newer link version. I had encountered an error though. I pasted the error message below.
File "fxlinuxprint-1.0.3-1.i386.rpm" not found.
dpkg: error processing fxlinuxprint_1.0.3-1_i386.deb (--install):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
fxlinuxprint_1.0.3-1_i386.deb
I hope you can help me figure this out. Thanks much.
Hi. I've updated the script to refer to the newer version of the driver. I can't test it as I use a mac now ;)
Can you leave a comment here if this works for you? Thanks.
Thanks for the very quick reply. I think it did run, I have pasted the entire printed output in the terminal after running the new script. I can now find the fx in the list of the model during printer install, however I still cannot print a test page. Am i missing something?
