Here's what happens. It detects the printer. CUPS doesn't have the ML-1710 ppd file, so I downloaded the version of CUPS samsung has on its web site, untar the file and copy the ml1710.ppd file to my local system.

I then point the CUPS util to the ppd file.

I'm using SUSE 8.2 Pro with CUPS 1.1.18. The printer comes with CUPS 1.1.15 onl the CD.

YAST shows the printer with the proper description, and show the location of printer as "SB printer on //Unknown?serial=2261BAAW916952V0"

When I use the test functions, or try to print to the printer, it doesn't do anything. The file doesn's show up in the printer queue.

So, anyone have any idea about this?

Mark, Is your ppd listed in /etc/cups/ppd ? THis is where cups eventually installs the ppds. Also have a look at the log files in /var/logs/cups/ and see if you can find any error messages relating to your printer. You could try putting the ml1710.ppd file into /usr/share/cups/model/Samsung and re-installing the driver for your printer. This is where all the ppd files are stored. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
