Description of problem: If I fire up the CUPS web interface, I am able to see the Samsung ML2250 laser printer as being available. It is not showing from s-c-p Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.6.148-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Fire up a browser and select 127.0.0.1:631, create a new printer 2. Select SAMSUNG and the 2250 driver appears 3. Start s-c-p, create a new printer, select Samsung. The 2250 is not in the list Actual results: ML2250 not available from s-c-p Samsung list Expected results: It should be as it's available from the CUPS web interface Additional info:
How did you configure the printer? Did you use the manufacturer's PPD? If so, you need to use 'Action->Import PPD' from the system-config-printer menu.
The installer from Samsung is not x86_64 clean and therefore not supported by them. I've not installed the PPD from anywhere and was actually suprised to see it in the CUPS list and not in the Gnome one.
I don't have Samsung in the list at all on http://localhost:631/, so I think that at some stage something/someone installed a PPD for CUPS. It will be in /usr/share/cups/model I expect. As system-config-printer is completely foomatic-based, it needs the PPD to be imported into foomatic as in comment #1.
