How to set up MPlayer plugins on Firefox and use the CUPS drivers in Gutenprint on OpenSolaris build 111

1   How to set up MPlayer plugins

1.1 OpenSolaris doesn't have SUNWfirefox-devel, which
    is required when building mplayerplug-in-daily.tar.gz,
    so we might need to install firefox-3.1b3.en-US.open
    solaris-i386-pkg.bz2, which includes SUNWfirefox,
    SUNWfirefox-devel, and SUNWfirefox-bookmark. We
    can get the package from the URL given below.
    http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly
    /contrib/3.1b3-candidates/build1/

1.2 You might need to uninstall firefox, reinstall the
    relative packages, and reboot to install firefox-3.1b3.
    en-US.opensolaris-i386-pkg.bz2. The command lines
    are given below.

    # pkg uninstall SUNWgnome-help-viewer
    # pkg uninstall SUNWcodeina
    # pkg uninstall SUNWipkg-gui
    # pkg uninstall SUNgnome-python-extras
    # pkg uninstall SUNWfirefox
    # pkg install SUNWgnome-help-viewer
    # pkg install SUNWcodeina
    # pkg install SUNWipkg-gui
    # pkg install SUNgnome-python-extras
    # reboot

1.3 You can install firefox-3.1b3.en-US.opensolaris
    -i386-pkg.bz2. The command lines are given below.

    # bunzip2 -d firefox-3.1b3.en-US.opensolaris-i386-pkg.bz2
    # pkgadd -d firefox-3.1b3.en-US.opensolaris-i386-pkg

1.4 Then I referred to the useful website given below
    and could install MPlayer. I express my heartful
    thanks to homeunix.com and the command lines
    are given below.
    http://solaris.homeunix.com/?q=node/24

    # pkg set-authority -O http://ips.homeunix.com:10906 homeunix.com
    # pkg refresh --full
    # pkg install MBLmplayer

1.5 Next you might need to install mplayerplug-in-daily.tar.gz.
    We can get the package from the URL given below and
    the command lines are given below.
    http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/download.php

    $ gzcat mplayerplug-in-daily.tar.gz | tar xvf -
    # pkg install SUNWgnome-common-devel
    # ./configure
    # make -i install clean

1.6 Now we can play wmv files using MPlayer
    plugins on Firefox and confirm we added
    mplayerplug-in to mozilla plugins.

2   How to use the CUPS drivers in Gutenprint

2.1 Second we confirm CUPS and the relative
    packages were installed or install them using a
    package manager if they weren't installed.

2.2 We might need to install gutenprint-5.2.6.tar.bz2
    and can get the package from the URL given
    below. The command lines are also given below.
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/files/

    # bzip2 -dc gutenprint-5.2.6.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
    # cd gutenprint-5.2.6
    # ./configure --enable-cups-ppds
    # make install clean
    # reboot

2.3 Then we might need to enable CUPS and the command
    lines are given below.

    # print-service -s cups

2.4 Now we can use the CUPS drivers in Gutenprint,
    for example Epson PM-T960 compatible with
    Epson Stylus photo RX595, RX680 from the
    URL http://localhost:631/.

Finally I am happy to assist you to set up MPlayer plugins
and use the CUPS drivers in Gutenprint on OpenSolaris
build 111.
