Bug 859669

Error message says it cannot run /usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertosamsungspl

scratch that:   it is /usr/lib64/cups/filter/rastertosamsungspl

I used samsung 'Configurator' from a text screen.  It said it installed correctly.  However I got the following error messages during the installation

[root@Carrizozo-John bin]# ./Configurator

Please attach an output from printing troubleshooter while using the Fedora provided driver (SpliX).
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Printing/Debugging#Printing_troubleshooter

also an output of "lpinfo -l -v" would be useful.

I will get back with the printing troubleshooter later today.  As for now this looks promising.

lpinfo -l -v

gave me
lpinfo: Forbidden

run it as superuser (root)

I get what you are saying, but am running into difficulties.  I uninstalled the drivers provided by Samsung and now the computer cannot find the Samsung driver.
I removed and reinstalled cups and rebooted assuming it would re write the driver database but it did not so I still don't have the Samsung driver in the database  (in fact only about 4 or 5 companies are listed when it used to list many more)

Since it no longer was auto giving me the samsung driver, I told it as john(the administrator who has been installing everything for months) to install a generic laserjet.  It did, and that works ok.  (so no permission problem there) Unfortunately I am missing a few features.   Can you give me a hint how to get the printer database back on line so I can try installing as root?

Thanks,
John

Ok, lets take it from start. According to the specs [1] this printer knows only
SPL [2] language. The only package that provides drivers for SPL printers is SpliX [3]. So
- install the splix package
- start system-config-printer
- add a printer queue using 'Samsung ML-2525W, 2.0.0 [en]' driver
- in the system-config-printer go to Help->Troubleshoot and follow the instructions. You'll end up with a troubleshoot.txt file which you'll attach to this bug report.
- we need to see the output of: su -c "lpinfo -l -v" which will tell us the id of the device. We need it to fix the driver-auto-selection-and-installation mechanism so next time it will automatically install splix and select the splix driver for this printer.

splix was installed before I removed the samsung drivers.  It was no longer installed, and I reinstalled it.  I then ran system-config-printer as John the administrator.  It asked for johns password and then installed the ML-2525W driver.  It said it was installed and I asked it to do a test page (this is where it failed before).   It asked me for root's password (never did that before--it just gave an error and stopped the printer). After I gave it the root password it successfully printed the test page (never did that before either).  It now is working.

I don't know what to make of that security issue but the printer is working fine now.

I'm glad it works now. Closing.
