I very much doubt that you have to compile anything to get a printer to
work. What printer model do you have and what did you try so far to make
it work? Where did you get that idea that you'd have to compile a
driver? Where did you download the source code for that?

In general, it helps to tell the mailing list what you are trying to
achieve: describe the goal, not the step:
