1. Build the plugin binary

    unpack check_printer.tar.gz

	`tar xzf check_printer.tar.gz`

    change to the directory "check_printer" and type

	`make`
    
    to build to plugin.
    
	`make install`
      
    will copy the plugin to "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/"
    
    Have Fun!


2. Create a patched nagios-plugins-1.4 RPM

    get and install the nagios-plugins-1.4 source RPM.
    copy "check_printer.diff" to your source directory ( /usr/src/packages/SOURCES )
    Change to the directory containing the SPEC file for nagios-plugins. ( /usr/src/packages/SPECS )
    Add the patch to the nagios-plugins.spec file. For Example:
    
	--- nagios-plugins.spec     2006-02-17 09:19:18.000000000 +0100
        +++ nagios-plugins.spec     2006-02-17 09:19:43.000000000 +0100

    build your rpm package as usual:
    
	`rpmbuild -ba nagios-plugins.spec`

    when finished, you can install the patched RPM.
