OK. On I go with what I have done.
In the CUPS System Administrators Manual is a section about installing from
the source. In that section is this:
"For the image file filters and PostScript RIP, you'll need the JPEG, PNG,
TIFF, and ZLIB libraries. CUPS will build without these, but with
significantly reduced functionality."
I don't want reduced functionality. I don't know if I already have these
libraries installed or not. So, I downloaded them and did "./configure",
"make" and "make install" on each one except PNG. PNG had it's own build
instructions and did not use AutoConf. I did them in reverse alphabetical
order because PNG stated that it is dependent on ZLIB.
That being done, I did "./configure", "make" and "make install" on CUPS
1.1.12 sources. Aside from a few warnings, all went well.
So now I am at the point where I should do the three steps I describe below.
Should I do it or will I end up with a completely un-printing system?
