Ok, I will try removing the printer and adding it again. Thanks for the

Now that I think about it, I did have to "reinstall" the printer after
I upgraded from Squeeze to Wheezy, but once I did that, the printer
worked normally and still does.

I'm using a HP LaserJet 1020, which I think is pretty similar, and I'm

Thanks, this will help upcoming users with the same problem :-)

Were those debs coming from here?

***
http://www.bchemnet.com/suldr/pool/debian/extra/s/

- samsungmfp-driver-legacy
The samsungmfp-driver, samsungmfp-driver-3.00.65, and samsungmfp-driver-
legacy packages provide all the binary files for the driver itself 
(printing and scanning); the difference is the version of the driver and 
required system dependencies.

You may need to manually add printers via standard interfaces, although 
in some distributions a USB-connected printer may be automatically 
detected and installed.

- samsungmfp-data
The samsungmfp-data package provides the ppd/cms files needed to control 
the printers, and is pretty much required to do anything at all.
***

Mmm, why the "driver-legacy" flavor? Wasn't the other set of packages 
working for you? :-?

I have samsung scx-4200 for some years, shipped with linux driver on cd.
The Samsung unified driver was working for me a long time (debian testing),
but some months ago (cca 6) it stops working. Something strange happens,
reinstall was not help and i was not able to decide the reason for this.
And i was not able to find new driver version to download too.

Now i am using the splix. Sometime if want not print more than one page and
unplug/plug USB cable cycle is needed. Sometime the off/on is needed, and
sometime simply CUPS restart helps to continue printing. I am not sure, if
it is the driver issue or something in CUPS, because most of the printing
is coming from remote computer (my daughter and old OpenSuse).

IMO, you can successfully try the Samsung unified driver on the Squeeze,
because in squeeze release time (and long time after this) it was working
for me (and for printing - there was some problems with saned and remote
scanning).

I don't know.  I get a list of drivers appropriate to my printer.  (Or to the 
printer which I am trying to connect.)

How would I check?

I have installed the SPLIX package on various distros, most recently on Lenny 
and Squeeze.  I just do
#aptitude install splix
and aptitude installs it.

The printer-driver-splix package from testing/unstable will not install
on Squeeze because the version of CUPS it requires is not suitable. So
take a trip to

   http://snapshot.debian.org/

and have a look at splix 2.0.0+svn293-1 and upwards.

Re: printer driver

hi thierry,

a late answer: needed some time to sort things out. the  canon PIXMA 
mp220 (printer part) works under sid with cups + gutenprint version 
5.0.2 with the driver of the PIXMA mp 150.
installing under etch seems impossible without installing dependency 
packages with possible far-reaching consequences for the functioning of 
my working horse etch. so i decided not to do that. i gonna try samba or 
(preferably) the chroot 'jail'.


thanks for your answer,

The closest matches I can find in the printer database on
openprinting.org are:

http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Dell-1710
http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-E232

Based on the information given in these pages, I would try the following
drivers:

HP Laserjet 5 Foomatic/hpijs
HP Laserjet 5 Foomatic/lj5gray
HP Laserjet 5 Foomatic/pxlmono

Haven't used that Dell model, but it looks roughly like a Lexmark e230.

If you don't have a specific driver for it, (and dell doesn't provide  
them?) try a generic postscript which should work.


Point your browser at it and it'll probably have links to drivers  
right on it's built in webpage  (assuming Dell didn't completely  
lobotomize it)


For Lexmark you could try this  although note I have not used Lexmark drivers in Debian.  I  
have installed their ppd files from the tar ball on all our Mandrake  
machines with great results.  We've been quite happy with our Lexmark  
laser printers under Linux.

Re: Printer Driver Brother on new Lenny installation (Solved sort of)

2007-09-27 Thread Robert Parker 
I have a working printer now.

Unfortunately I was not able to get it going in Gnome in spite of
installing the driver from
http://www.profv.de/brother/ and also all available packages using
"foomatic-filters-ppds"

The solution finally was just to install KDE. The kde printer
configuration presented me with similar or maybe identical choices to
those offered in Kubuntu, and like the Kubuntu system the printer has
just worked.


Regards
Bob Parker.

What I have is whatever came on CD1 using the Gnome. The printer
configuration tool uses cupsys by default. Unfortunately Brother is
not in its list of supported printers at all.

I'm a little vague because the installation is at a friends place 2
hours away by train.

Great, the foomatic version was what I did have working in Kubuntu.

I think I will try that first.

Thanks for your help. I will try your suggestions later this week.

Does the cupsd.conf file exist, is it readable? Do you have cupsys
installed at all?

Debian has several PPD files for the HL-2060 included in the
"foomatic-filters-ppds" package:

$ dpkg -L foomatic-filters-ppds | grep Brother-HL-2060 | sed 's/.*\///'
Brother-HL-2060-Postscript.ppd.gz
Brother-HL-2060-hl1250.ppd.gz
Brother-HL-2060-lj4dith.ppd.gz
Brother-HL-2060-lj5gray.ppd.gz
Brother-HL-2060-ljet4.ppd.gz
Brother-HL-2060-pxlmono.ppd.gz

If you install thias package you should be able to select these drivers
when you add your printer using the CUPS web frontend (or the KDE
printer administration tool).

If none of these drivers works then you can look for the corresponding
files on the Kubuntu CD and try those (in case Kubuntu uses modified
versions). The "add printer" dialog allows you to specify PPD files
directly; it might be necessary to unzip the files with gunzip first.

Furthermore, a HL-2040 adapted PPD is available here:
http://www.profv.de/brother/

Note: I have no experience myself with any of these drivers, I just
looked up your printer here:
http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Brother-HL-2040

It depends on what printer system and possible filters you using.  Are
you using cups or one of the traditional print spoolers (lpd, lprng
etc)?  The former I know little about cups, but for the latter you start
out with looking in /etc/printcap and figure out which filter
(filter=???) you are using (apsfilter, magicfilter, ifhp etc) then
find out device they are configured to use of ghostscript (gs).
