Hi, I'm coming back with my Cups problem and a little more info. I want to print on a Samsung 1210 printer with Cups. I'm on Sid, and since the last upgrade, it doesn't work anymore (it used to).
Samsung 1210 seems to be a so called GDI printer. It ships with a .ppd file, that I did put in /usr/share/cups/model/Samsung/1200-gdi.ppd This worked before upgrade. It seems that gs might be the culprit, despite the fact that 'gs -h | grep gdi' does show a line mentionning gdi. Or is foomatic-gswrapper the culprit ? >From /var/log/cups/error_log : [...] D [18/Nov/2002:10:17:09 +0100] [Job 55] Saw EOF!
