Can anyone point me to a guide on how to get hold of these files, and also the steps needed to install/test in F10/11 and try this for the scanning function of this printer? Also in terms of the printing function I also came across the ppd file in the Samsung official downloads for the printer - they have three tarballs available (dated from a few months ago) with various applications for Linux and within these files there is a file scx4500w.ppd that presumably be used to drive the printer? I have only ever used printers in the past that "just work" in Linux so this is a new venture for me. Is it possible using the standard tools in F10/11 to install the ppd file and try to print from cups in the usual way? If so again can someone point me to a guide?
