Epson Stylus D120 under Debian, Ubuntu, Whatever

Warning: I'm not a debian developer nor a debian packager, I DO NOT USE debian personnaly. I just needed to make a Epson stylus D120 printer work with Ubuntu. So this package is nearly crap, you are warned.

This will build the devel version of gutenprint, if you don't need it do not install it.

In order to make this packages, I :

• Downloaded gutenprint_5.0.1-4.diff.gz from http://packages.debian.org/
• Downloaded gutenprint-5.1.6.tar.bz2 from http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/
• Applied the patch
• Made some quick & dirty correction in the debian/ folder
• Deleted everything from debian/gimp-gutenprint.install, since it didn't worked, and i didn't need it
• Compiled

To build the package simply type the followings commands:

# tar -jxvf gutenprint_5.1.6.orig.tar.gz
# cd gutenprint-5.1.6
# zcat ../gutenprint_5.1.6-1.diff.gz | patch -p1
# chmod +x debian/rules
# dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

Once the build process is finished you should be able to install debs packages via dpkg -i
