Hi,

Indeed sorry that I forgot to mention am running Centos 5.
Upon running the script as you mentioned above, I got the following output.

Installing driver for model: LBP6300dn
using file: CNCUPSLBP6300CAPTK.ppd
Installing packages...
Installing libstdc++6 package...
../canonLBP_install.sh: line 132: apt-get: command not found
I am unable to install the before mentioned package...
Please install the required package and rerun the script...

Usage: ./canonLBP_install.sh PRINTER_MODEL [IP]
This script will help you install Canon CAPT Printer Driver 2.00 for
Debian-based Linux systems using the 64-bit OS architecture.

Now does it mean that this driver is good ONLY for Debian/Ubuntu 64-bit?
I have a typical 32bit PC.

All help much appreciated. Thanks indeed.

Appears that way to me ... the call to "apt-get" was a bit
of a clue, in addition to the very specific message above.

No idea what that printer is, but if it has postscript capability, it
should not need any binary driver. It should just need a ppd file, which
is text based. If the printer is a winprinter (Ie, is a bare bones
printer with no printer language on board) then it needs a driver (I
have no idea why anyone would buy a printer like that, but some people
do).

PCLinuxOS??? The OP is running CentOS 5, and although you
can use apt-get with CentOS, the default is yum, which is why
the OP got an error message about apt-get command not found.

You got an error when the script tried to install libstdc++6, so try
installing libstdc++6 and libstc++6.dev, (names may be a bit different,
I don't have centos to check) with yum, then run the script again. Or
look at the script and see what other packages are required and add them
before running the script. You may be able to walk through the script,
and change it to use yum, or follow the script, but do everything manually.
The script may just check for dependencies, and then copy a couple of files
to the proper location.
