Hello List!

I recently installed OpenSuSE 10.1 X86_64 on a new Athlon 64 based
system, when all was said and done the system would not print.  Any
print job sent to network printer went to never land and the only
message in the error log of cups was the pid ended with status 22.

Johannes pointed out that the failed pid was
/usr/lib64/cups/filter/rastortokm2430dl.

During the setup of the system I installed the
magicolor2430DL-1.5.0-1.i386.rpm system downloaded from the
Konica/Minolta web site, and the contents of that package are listed
below:

/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertokm2430dl
/usr/share/KONICA_MINOLTA/mc2430DL/COPYING
/usr/share/KONICA_MINOLTA/mc2430DL/Halftones
/usr/share/KONICA_MINOLTA/mc2430DL/Halftones/km_ht_00.bmp
/usr/share/KONICA_MINOLTA/mc2430DL/Halftones/km_ht_01.bmp
/usr/share/KONICA_MINOLTA/mc2430DL/Halftones/km_ht_02.bmp
/usr/share/KONICA_MINOLTA/mc2430DL/Halftones/km_ht_03.bmp
/usr/share/KONICA_MINOLTA/mc2430DL/Halftones/km_ht_10.bmp
/usr/share/KONICA_MINOLTA/mc2430DL/Halftones/km_ht_11.bmp
/usr/share/KONICA_MINOLTA/mc2430DL/Halftones/km_ht_12.bmp
/usr/share/KONICA_MINOLTA/mc2430DL/Halftones/km_ht_13.bmp
/usr/share/KONICA_MINOLTA/mc2430DL/Halftones/km_ht_20.bmp
/usr/share/KONICA_MINOLTA/mc2430DL/Halftones/km_ht_21.bmp
/usr/share/KONICA_MINOLTA/mc2430DL/Halftones/km_ht_22.bmp
/usr/share/KONICA_MINOLTA/mc2430DL/Halftones/km_ht_23.bmp
/usr/share/KONICA_MINOLTA/mc2430DL/Profiles
/usr/share/KONICA_MINOLTA/mc2430DL/Profiles/km_0.icm
/usr/share/KONICA_MINOLTA/mc2430DL/Profiles/km_1.icm
/usr/share/KONICA_MINOLTA/mc2430DL/Profiles/km_2.icm
/usr/share/cups/model/KONICA_MINOLTA/km2430dl.ppd.gz

What I noticed was rastortokm2430dl was located in
/usr/lib/cups/filter so I just created a symbolic link from
/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastortokm2430dl to
/usr/lib64/cups/filter/rastortokm2430dl and all worked fine.

ln -s /usr/lib/cups/filter/rastortokm2430dl
/usr/lib64/cups/filter/rastortokm2430dl

I am going to open a support ticket with Konica/Minolta and see if
they will supply an X86_64 package.

I purchased this printer for two reasons, first I read that they had a
linux rpm on their installation cdrom that was designed for cups (to
me that said K/M is at least trying to support linux) and second was
the price.
