Hello.
Thanks for show me the drivers location.
I've installed the bjfiltercups-2.3-0.i386.rpm and bjfilteri250-2.3-0.i386.rpm
after generate the debs with alien like you.
bjfilteri250_2.3-1_i386.deb
bjfiltercups_2.3-1_i386.deb
But after this, I had to install:
libxml1
libglade0
libpng2
because some libraries was missed (You can check it with ldd).
Now the printer works fine in Debian sarge. :D
i just can say the printer works, but not that fine ;) it has still some problems to fetch / guess the right color. i will put it in here, if i find a solution.
... after a few tries i found out, that it is not the driver that is messing around with the colors, it is my printer: after printing some pages it was allmost ok,... i think it spent too much time in the corner.
