 |
|
I've read the excellent CUPS and Samba HOWTO on the forums but can't seem to get my printer to work properly still. I've installed CUPS and now come to add my printer.
I have downloaded the PPD file from linuxprinting.org and moved it to /usr/share/cups/model/, I now run:
| Code: | | # lpadmin -p SamsungML1210 -D "David's Laser Printer." -L "Under the stairs." -E -v parallel:/dev/lp0 -m Samsung-ML-1210-gdi.ppd |
I get no errors from this, it shows in the web frontend fine. However, when I try and run cupsaddsmb, it simply tells me the printer has no PPD file. Running:
| Code: | | # lpoptions -p SamsungML1210 -l |
Says the same thing. I have also tried adding the printer via the web frontend, choosing "Samsung -> ML1210 (recommended) (gdi)" but this produces exactly the same problems.
Does anybody have any idea why it isn't picking up on the PPD file? |
