I am trying to run the MaxView document management program

  • 772

I have downloaded MaxView 0.7 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/maxview/

When I try to open the file the message is:

'Dependency is not satisfiable:libpoppler-qt 4-3(>=0.10) Error'

My goal is to get a Brother-MFC-9420-CN printer/scanner/fax online. I have Ubuntu 14.04 as the OS on a Lenovo Think Centre desktop. The system recognizes the printer, at least.

I appreciate your feedback.

  1. You can install the dependencies in two ways:

    Find a repository that has it, and add that repository

    Download and install with

    dpkg -i package name

    I found the package here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/python-poppler-qt4

  2. For anyone coming across this thread in a search, the program's author has given directions on how to install PaperMan from source, here: https://github.com/sglass68/paperman/wiki/Paperman-cross-platform-paper-mangement-like-PaperPort,-was-maxview

    Scroll down, all the way to the bottom, to see it.

    After doing this, it's installed on LinuxMint Qiana, with no dependency problems. You set this by appending the folder path to the command, paperman. Otherwise, the program will refuse to scan, until the destination directory has been set.

    Edit: don't follow the author's instructions exactly! If the source doesn't have a good uninstall rule, you won't be able to remove the program cleanly, when you decide to. Instead use checkinstall, or another method to accomplish the same end. Do some research before bypassing your distro's installer.
