This is a new Centos 7 installation. On a Centos 6 system, I simply installed the 32-version and the printer worked. But I run into a dependency/version problem that would require ever deeper downgrading of those libraries. When I try to install glibc.i686 , i get: Error: Package: glibc-2.17-55.el7.i686 (base) Requires: glibc-common = 2.17-55.el7 Installed: glibc-common-2.17-55.el7_0.1.x86_64 (@updates) glibc-common = 2.17-55.el7_0.1 Trying to downgrade glibc-common, fails on account of other glibc version problems. It appears that all glibc libraries, including kernel headers, were upgraded, except for glibc.i686 (which I hadn't installed when I set up the system) has never been upgraded. If anyone knows what I can do, where I could find a newer 32-bit glibc, please let me know. I can't find the matching rpm.
