I bought this printer after carefully observing its compatibility with Linux. Samsung shipped the CDrom which includes a script for linux. I installed the printer and the tool detects the printer on the USB which is one. ALso, my print manager detects the printer. I have selected the postscript driver for the printer which it shows in the parenthesis (is recommended). However, whenever I try to print any document pdf, ps or text the printer is idle. It does not print anything. Also I did not modify any entry in /etc/printcap My printer supports linux printing since its on the linuxprinting.org http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi Samsung ML 1710 Any suggestions? tips? advises? Thanks [snip] It sounds like you have the same problem I did with a Ricoh. They support RH9 but use the old LPRng system, which is not installed by default on RH9. RH9 installs CUPS by default. You may need to install it, and use the printer switching tool to switch over to LPRng to use the printer. I have the Ricoh working that way, BUT, it doesn't seem to print from all apps, where as CUPS does.
