I am having a problem with cups. I am running Fedora 21 64 bit on
several computers in my home network one of which has a laser printer I
want to use from the other printers. I am running CUPS 1.7.5 on all of
them. In going through searching I noticed that there is a new version
- 2.0.3 - available. It is not available using yum. I downloaded the
software. I ran .configure and make. This seemd to work. However when
I went to the cups admin page using Firefox (localhost:631) it showed
version 1.7.5. Not being an expert on Linux, I remember that sometimes
'make install' is required. Tried this and received these errors:
Makefile :116 recipe for target 'install-data' failed
Makefile :182 recipe for target 'install-data' failed
How do I get the new version installed?
Please be gentle and specific. I run Fedora but I am not an expert on
Linux.
Thanks in advance.

p.s. Will version 2.0.3 be put in the Fedora repository at some point?
