You should just be able to undo it by moving it back:<br /><br />sudo mv /usr/bin/XXXrpm /usr/bin/rpm<br />Steve Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11124745870750096193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15084382.post-1517598238327355612013-08-09T11:50:23.234-07:002013-08-09T11:50:23.234-07:00Thank you!

I am using this on Unbuntu 12.10 64 bit and to avoid hassle I used the 32 bit drivers. No errors during the whole process, including the install.sh.

But now I don't know how to put the rpm back in. Actually, I'm new to linux and I don't know what an rpm is. I hope it isn't too important 'cause I guess it isn't on my computer anymore, but my printer works!
