Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: splix
Dear Ubuntu folks:
Thank you for packaging all this good software for Ubuntu!
My Samsung ML-1740 isn't working very well with my new Natty computer.
Inspecting the configuration, I see that it is using the GDI driver
which is reputed to be problematic on openprinting.org. The splix driver
is recommended instead. I've always had excellent performance from using
the splix driver with this printer in the past. So, for starters the
default configuration of Ubuntu should probably be changed to use the
Splix driver for this printer.
But in any case, I can't seem to find the Splix driver PPD within
Ubuntu. The "splix" package is installed, but there are no PPD files in
/usr/share/ppd/splix, nor any PPD files that I can find for ML-1740 or
with the word "splix" anywhere in their name.
I know that in previous distributions of Ubuntu the "splix" package came
with all the PPDs, then in later versions they came compressed, and then
in the most recent version the source code comes with the package and
the PPDs are supposed to be generated at install time. Maybe there is a
bug in that process? That would explain the apparent absence of the
needed PPD files here.
Thanks!
