I am having trouble printing to a Samsung ML-1710 laser printer.

Any ideas as to why this is happening? Is there something I
missed?
Yast also complains about the ppd file included on the driver
disk.

Are you using CUPS?

Yes I am using cups.
Have you set permissions correctly in cupsd.conf?
Have you installed Linux drivers? This printer uses Samsung Printer Language which is not one of the more common languages. There is a linux driver here :
http://www.samsung.com/Support/ProductSupport/Download/ Model_Select.aspx?type=Printer&typecode=15&subtype=Laser% 20Printer&cmssubtypecode=1501&model=ML-1710&fileType=DR
Download this file and hopefully it will have instructions on how to use this driver.
I have no personal experience with this particular printer.
I had simular problems with a different printer and after searching I found that I forgot to run as root
lppasswd -g sys -a root
There was an install popup that was displayed with these instructions.
This is an added security setting in cups that is shipping today.

Thanks. I do not know if it helped or not but I got the printer to print. I had suspected that the problem might be how yast sets up the connection. Yast list the printer connection as //samsung blah blah blah idle:40000 . . . When I changed the connection to the more sane and logical /dev/usb/lp0 then the printer worked. I had tried lppasswd . . . and got the same results, printer not accepting jobs. I also tried the driver and print utility supplied by Samsung and that did not work either. The ppd file supplied by Samsung is worthless.
