Hi,

I recently tried to attach my Samsung SCX4200 printer/scanner device to my new Suse 11 installation via USB. Different to the previous Suse 10.1 installation files allmost at the end, since the appropriate USB-device can't be found. Even if I manually choose "/dev/mfp4" as it had been set-up previously, the situation doesn't change, while on the other hand yast automatically tries to install the new device after plugging it for the first time?

I could imagine that this problem is related to the resource manager, but I don't know how it works in detail. Hence, can anyone give me some helpful tipps on this problem?

Thanks, Andreas

Andreas, I haven't tried this myself but try extracting just the ppd file from the Samsung driver, then install the printer via the CUPS web interface and at the appropriate place point CUPS to the extracted PPD file. That *should* be all you need. YMMV.
