    Hi,
    i tried to install gutenprint drivers-i have Canon MP620 and i found on some forums that linux drivers for MP610 should make MP620 working. But when i download .rpm gutenprint file and extract it, i don´t know what is with the installation/how to install it. I mean in my printer settings no new printers are to be found.
    Anone has experience with these stuff?
    And yes-there is Gutenprint 5.2.2 Version, and on my .rpm autoupdate i get only 5.0.0. Does anyone know how to install the newest version of Gutenprint? I am newbie to linux so i have no idea how to install drivers and programs whitout automatic-updater...

    And i try to open this link: http://localhost:631/ but it cannon be found on my AAO Linpus (but on my Mac it is found?!?)

    Thanks

    Now when i try to install canon drivers i become this message:

    Does anyone knows what is it?
