Hello everybody,
I am absolutely new to Linux… and to forums. Please forgive me if this question is stupid or pasted wrong.
I have decided to go for Manjaro and to scrap my Windows installation. It works fine so far, but I can’t get to install a printer device. I own a DELL C1765nfw network printer which worked well under Windows. I is connected via LAN switch to the computer.
I have tried multiple tips from the internet, always using the terminal. The commandos used in these tips seem cryptic to me. Can anybody help? Is there a more “noob” (GUI) way for old lads like me?
Thank you,
Dan
Hello,
You have to install this AUR (en) - foo2zjs-nightly
pamac build foo2zjs-nightly
After that, you have to go to http://localhost:631/ and add and select your printer and driver inside administration as described in the last comment there.
Hi bogdancovciu,
Thanks for your help. I have tried both via terminal and “install AUR software”, both times the installation stops with an error message:
==> Processing pre-downloaded ‘getweb’ firmware
make: error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Any idea?
Best, Dan
Better we do it the proper way:
sudo pacman-mirrors -f5 && sudo pacman -Syyu libffi lib32-libffi
sudo pacman -S base-devel --needed
pamac build foo2zjs-nightly
Sorry but again the same error message
==> Processing pre-downloaded ‘getweb’ firmware
make: error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
But thank you for the quick reply!!
Best,
Dan
You did not reboot your system after update ? … I build it on two installs, and i’m sharing just the last part of the build/install
install -d -m 755 /var/tmp/pamac-build-b/foo2zjs-nightly/pkg/foo2zjs-nightly/usr/bin
install -c -m 755 foo2zjs-loadfw /var/tmp/pamac-build-b/foo2zjs-nightly/pkg/foo2zjs-nightly/usr/bin
install -d -m 755 /var/tmp/pamac-build-b/foo2zjs-nightly/pkg/foo2zjs-nightly/usr/lib/udev/rules.d
install -c -m 644 hplj10xx.rules /var/tmp/pamac-build-b/foo2zjs-nightly/pkg/foo2zjs-nightly/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/71-hplj10xx.rules
install -d -m 755 /var/tmp/pamac-build-b/foo2zjs-nightly/pkg/foo2zjs-nightly/usr/lib/systemd/system
install -c -m 644 foo2zjs-loadfw@.service /var/tmp/pamac-build-b/foo2zjs-nightly/pkg/foo2zjs-nightly/usr/lib/systemd/system

By the way, if you somehow added sudo before pamac command … don’t do that.
