Hi,
I've got an Epson R1800 printer and the gutenprint drivers take multiple orders of magnitude longer to print than the Windows drivers.
So I want to try to Avasys Epson drivers, which include 32 bit binaries.
General question: How do I emerge a 32 bit version of a package?
Specific question: Anyone had any luck getting printouts at a reasonable speed from the R1800, and if so how?
Thanks |

What I do when I want a 32 bit binary is to get it from debian. I go to packages.debian.org and download it. Then use 'dpkg --extract' (sys-apps/debianutils) and move the content to /usr/local. Then I see with ldd what library I need. For example I believe I needed libart for a game:
| Code: |
$ ldd /usr/local/lib32/libart_lgpl_2.so.2
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libm.so.6 => /lib32/libm.so.6 (0xf7f69000)
libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf7e43000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x56555000)
|
If any is "Not Found" just search for file content on packages.debian.org and repeat.
Note: This method is self learned and may be the worst way to do it. |
