Hi there!

I'm trying to configure an Epson C42UX USB-Printer on my OpenBSD 
4.0-System via Cups. Seems to be a pretty difficult operation, 'cause up 
to now it doesn't work.

The Problems:

1. No drivers available!
Neither gimp-print/gutenprint nor ESP Ghostscript are available via 
ports or as packages.

2. Drivers won't compile
I've tried to compile gimp-print, gutenprint and ESP-Ghostscript from 
source - none of them went through.

Gimp-Print ended the "make"-order with:

: warning: strcpy() is almost always misused, please use strlcpy()
/usr/local/lib/libtiff.a(tif_dirinfo.o)(.text+0x6d7): In function 
`_TIFFCreateAnonFieldInfo':

/usr/local/lib/libgnutls.a(gnutls_str.o)(.text+0x77): In function 
`_gnutls_str_cat':
: warning: strcat() is almost always misused, please use strlcat()
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src/gimp-print-4.2.7 (line 297 of Makefile).
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src/gimp-print-4.2.7 (line 426 of Makefile).

Gutenprint ended the "make"-order with:

In file included from /usr/local/include/gtk-1.2/gtk/gtk.h:80,

from panel.c:36:

gmake[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

gmake: *** [all] Error 2

And ESP-Ghostscript ended "./configure" with:

checking for jpeg_set_defaults in -ljpeg... no
configure: error: I wasn't able to find a copy
of the jpeg library. This is required for compiling
ghostscript. Please download a copy of the source,
e.g. from http://www.ijg.org/, unpack it at the
top level of the gs source tree, and rename
the directory to 'jpeg'.

So, I don't know, how to adjust this simple printer. On 
linuxprinting.org they write the printer "works Perfectly"?!

Does anyone know, how to solve this problem?
