# go to it's howto and follow the uninstallation instructions, then come
# back here.

# grep
# CUPS
# Foomatic

# GTK+
# Perl
# Glib
# ImageMagick's convert
# teTeX's texi2html/dvips
# Utils from linuxdoc-tools/sgml-tools (db2pdf, db2ps, etc.)
# doxygen
# dialog (in Slackware, included in the pkgtools package)
# gettext">doxygen
# zlib">doxygen
# pkg-config

# escputil is a commandline utility for Epson printers

# If you have The Gimp 2.4.x installed, it will install the plugin as
# Gutenprint, otherwise it will install it as Gimp Print.

# If you built cups support, and you're running a CUPS server, restart
# cupsd.  If you plan on actually using the Gutenprint driver, (re-)install
# the printer.  If you're in the process of installing CUPS and haven't
# fired it up for the first time yet, finish with the other prerequisites
# and then start CUPS.

# If you ever want to uninstall Gutenprint, this should do it:
# ('make uninstall' by itself should do it, if you have the configure'd
# source)
