[Pkg-ia32-libs-maintainers] Bug#686728: ia32-libs: libcupsimage would greatly simplify install of xerox 6015NI printer

[Alex Schumann]

Package: ia32-libs
Version: 20120102
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

Xerox, unfortunately does not provide 64bit .deb for xerox 6015NI printer. They
do provide 32bit deb, and 32/64 rpm (I believe due to the nature of /lib64 vs
/lib32)

One can manually extract the .deb and copy the files in to place; the only part
that doesn't work is they provide 2 binarys (/usr/lib/cups/filter/xrhk{1,2}ap)
which depend on libcupsimage.so.2. If the 32bit version were included with
ia32-libs this would then work.

You can verify this by extracting the .deb from reference [1] below and
attempting to run it. I get a lib error.

I believe there are other xerox printers which also are distributed as only
32bit, so this may help others.  (PS: I am on debian mint, but that shouldn't
matter...)

ref [2] and [3] are attemps people have made in debian-based distros to install
this printer.
