    <title>Installation of Gutenprint</title>

    <para>Install <application>Gutenprint</application> by running the
    following commands:</para>

<screen><userinput>sed -i 's|$(PACKAGE)/doc|doc/$(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION)|' \
       doc{,/developer}/Makefile.in &amp;&amp;
./configure --prefix=/usr &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>

    <para>To test the results, issue <command>make check</command>. This
    could take a very long time (100+ SBUs).</para>

    <para>Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>make install &amp;&amp;
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/gutenprint-&gutenprint-version;/api/gutenprint{,ui2} &amp;&amp;

                    /usr/share/doc/gutenprint-&gutenprint-version;/api/gutenprint &amp;&amp;
install -v -m644    doc/gutenprintui2/html/* \

  <sect2 role="commands">
    <title>Command Explanations</title>

    <para><command>sed -i '...' doc{,/developer}/Makefile.in</command>: This
    command is used so that the package documentation is installed in the
    conventional <filename class='directory'>/usr/share/doc</filename>
    directory structure instead of
    <filename class='directory'>/usr/share/gutenprint/doc</filename>.</para>

    <para><option>--with-translated-ppds=no</option>: When this parameter is
    given, only US English PPD files for <application>CUPS</application>
    will be built. Useful if the PPD files are not yet translated into your
    native language and you want to save some space by not installing unneeded
    translations.</para>

  <sect2 role="configuration">
    <title>Configuring Gutenprint</title>

    <sect3>
      <title>Configuration Information</title>

      <para>For <application>CUPS</application> to see newly installed PPD
      files, it has to be restarted (as the <systemitem
      class="username">root</systemitem> user):</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>/etc/rc.d/init.d/cups restart</userinput></screen>

      <para>This command may take a long time (up to 10 minutes)
      to complete. Don't panic while <application>CUPS</application>
      is rescanning the list of PPD files. The long delay will happen
      only once.</para>

      <para>Then point your web browser to <ulink url="http://localhost:631/"/>
      to add a new printer to <application>CUPS</application>.</para>
