I compiled and installed it, and haven't experienced any problems so
far.  Gutenprint went into /usr/local, so the older gimp-print was left
intact.

Gutenprint works with CUPS, so it doesn't install over the existing CUPS
driver from gimp-print. You'll be able to choose which one you want to
use.

When you compile it, make sure you only configure it to support the
locale you need, otherwise the default is to compile ppds for every
language!

That's about it, really.  Hope that helps.

Regards,

Ranbir
