Moving to foomatic-db At first, if a printer is not listed in the gnome-cups-manager or any other printer setup tool, this is caused by the printer not being in the foomatic-db package on your installed system.
Look up the printer on linuxprinting.org to see whether it is already added upstream. I have added this printer and other Samsung laser printers today. I also added the new SPL2 driver "splix" to the database. To fix this problem in Ubuntu it is only needed to update foomatic-db to the current snapshot and to add the "splix" driver. Then this printer will work perfectly out of the box. ** Changed in: cupsys (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: cupsys => foomatic-db -- Samsung ML-1740 Not Listed https://launchpad.net/bugs/39465 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
