The driver on the samsung page for the cpl-500 is no help. Suse9 YaST gives the following errors when trtying to load the ppd file: ./CLP-500splc.ppd: FAIL **FAIL** REQUIRED DefaultImageableArea REF: Page 102, section 5.15. **FAIL** REQUIRED PageRegion REF: Page 100, section 5.14. **FAIL** BAD Product - not "(string)". REF: Page 62, section 5.3. WARN PCFileName longer than 8.3 in violation of PPD spec. REF: Pages 61-62, section 5.3. Can anybody explain or point me at some help. This is the ppd file - " Product " looks like a string to me assuming the others are ok. The readme in the distro says anything after suse6 should be ok. *PPD-Adobe: "4.3" *FormatVersion: "4.3" *FileVersion: "1.1" *LanguageVersion: English *LanguageEncoding: ISOLatin1 *PCFileName: "CLP-500splc.ppd" *Manufacturer: "SAMSUNG" *Product: "CLP-500" *cupsVersion: 1.0 *cupsManualCopies: False *cupsModelNumber: 2 *cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 ppmtosplc" *ModelName: "Samsung CLP-500" *ShortNickName: "CLP-500" *linuxLanguage: "SPL-C" *linuxPriority: "1" *linuxURL: "http://www.samsungprinter.com/" *linuxIdentify: "CLP-500" *NickName: "Samsung CLP-500 Series (SPL-C)" *PSVersion: "(3010.000) 550" *LanguageLevel: "3" *ColorDevice: True *DefaultColorSpace: Gray *FileSystem: False *Throughput: "20" *%LandscapeOrientation: Plus90 *%VariablePaperSize: False *%TTRasterizer: Type42 *OpenUI *Resolution/Resolution: PickOne *DefaultResolution: 600 *Resolution 600/600 DPI: "<</HWResolution[600 600]>>setpagedevice" *CloseUI: *Resolution *OpenUI *PageSize/Page Size: PickOne *DefaultPageSize: Letter *PageSize Letter/US Letter: "<</Policies <</PageSize 7>> /.HWMargins [12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5] /PageSize [612 792] /ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice" *PageSize Legal/US Legal: "<< /Policies <</PageSize 7>> /.HWMargins [12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5] /PageSize [612 1008] /ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice" *PageSize A4/A4: "<< /Policies <</PageSize 7>> /.HWMargins [12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5] /PageSize[595 842] /ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice" *PageSize Executive/Executive: "<</Policies <</PageSize 7>> /.HWMargins [12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5] /PageSize [522 756] /ImagingBBox null>> setpagedevice" *PageSize Folio/Folio: "<</Policies <</PageSize 7>> /.HWMargins [12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5] /PageSize [612 936] /ImagingBBox null>> setpagedevice" *PageSize JB5/JIS B5: "<</Policies <</PageSize 7>> /.HWMargins [12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5] /PageSize [516 729] /ImagingBBox null>> setpagedevice" *PageSize B5/ISO B5 Env.: "<</Policies <</PageSize 7>> /.HWMargins [12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5] /PageSize [499 709] /ImagingBBox null>> setpagedevice" *PageSize A5/A5: "<</Policies <</PageSize 7>> /.HWMargins [12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5] /PageSize [420 595] /ImagingBBox null>> setpagedevice" *PageSize COM10/No.10 Env.: "<</Policies <</PageSize 7>> /.HWMargins [12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5] /PageSize [297 684] /ImagingBBox null>> setpagedevice" *PageSize Monarch/Monarch Env.: "<</Policies <</PageSize 7>> /.HWMargins [12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5] /PageSize [279 540] /ImagingBBox null>> setpagedevice" *PageSize DL/DL Env.: "<</Policies <</PageSize 7>> /.HWMargins [12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5] /PageSize [312 624] /ImagingBBox null>> setpagedevice" *PageSize C5/C5 Env.: "<</Policies <</PageSize 7>> /.HWMargins [12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5] /PageSize [459 649] /ImagingBBox null>> setpagedevice" *PageSize C6/C6 Env.: "<</Policies <</PageSize 7>> /.HWMargins [12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5] /PageSize [323 459] /ImagingBBox null>> setpagedevice" *PageSize A6/A6 Env.: "<</Policies <</PageSize 7>> /.HWMargins [12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5] /PageSize [298 420] /ImagingBBox null>> setpagedevice" *CloseUI: *PageSize *% Commented out the A3 setting until somebody gets the values for the other sections *% *PageSize A3/A3: "<</PageSize[842 1191] /ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice" *% This is where you define the SPL2 tray selection.
