No joy:

When I start to install with rpm, here is what I get:

Missing Dependency: cnijfilter-common >= 2.70 is needed by package
cnijfilter-ip1800series-2.70-1.i386
(/cnijfilter-ip1800series-2.70-1.i386)
Missing Dependency: libxml.so.1 is needed by package
cnijfilter-ip1800series-2.70-1.i386
(/cnijfilter-ip1800series-2.70-1.i386)

I'm using x86_64, and not keen about installing i386 packages.  Any
incompatibility issues with running i386 packages on a 64 bit CentOS?
