Hi Gabe,<br>
<br>
I had much the same problem with a Brother HL-1440 Laser printer ($90-Tiger direct)<br>
<br>
When trying to set it up via the KDE printer wizard (on a Debian
system), it would always fail. I tried using the drivers marked
"recommended". <br>
<br>
When I tried one of the other (not recommended) available drivers, it
worked perfectly. As I recall it was the "GIMP" associated driver
that failed.<br>

Hello all. First time post here, so be patient.<br><br>I am trying to install a new printer that I purchased the other day.<br>When I purchased it, I looked at the literature that was associated with<br>the printer, and it said that it was compatible with Linux. (So much
<br>for truth in advertising, eh?) Perhaps that last non-parenthetical<br>phrase should be in finger-quotes ("compatible with Linux"). It is a<br>Samsung CLP-510, which I picked up at Best Buy. I thought it a great
<br>bargain for a color laser printer with duplexing. Unfortunately, it<br>does not install easily. (That is code for "I can't figure it out.") I<br>am running SuSE 9.3 Pro on an Intel P3 667MHz processor with 256MB ram.
<br>I am trying to install through Cups, and I downloaded the latest stable<br>Cups release and did a configure; make; make install. I have the ppd<br>file from the cd that came with the printer, the Samsung web site, and
<br>one that I got from someone that posted to google groups saying that<br>they had this particular printer and that it worked fine for him. Still<br>no luck. Does anyone on this list have the expertise that I am sorely
<br>lacking? I would greatly appreciate any help that could be provided.<br><br>Thanks much.<br><br>-Gabe<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota<br>
