Till, Thanks again for your help. I tried all your recommendations and I feel like I'm getting closer, but now ALL print jobs fail (stopped), BUT they fail for the same reason whether or not they acroread or gedit. Here is what I did:
I downloaded: ghostscript-8.60-1lsb3.1.i486.rpm ghostscript-cups-8.60-1lsb3.1.i486.rpm ghostscript-fonts-8.60-1lsb3.1.i486.rpm ghostscript-x-8.60-1lsb3.1.i486.rpm and converted them to .deb with alien. sudo alien --scripts *.rpm then ran the install sudo dpkg -i *.deb My automatic updates immediately complained that the database was corrupt and needed to be fixed with: "sudo apt-get install -f" which I did: The following extra packages will be installed: gs The following NEW packages will be installed: gs 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/download/drivers/LSB$ OK. So. Now ALL print jobs are stopped (fail), with the following CUPS error: D [08/Dec/2007:22:27:10 +0000] [Job 228] /var/tmp/rastertosamsungspl.log file open error D [08/Dec/2007:22:27:10 +0000] [Job 228] ExecProgramV: 'gs' '-dNOPAUSE' '-dBATCH' '-dSAFER' '-q' '-sOutputFile=-' '-sDEVICE=pbmraw' '-r600x600' '-dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=612' '-dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=792' '-dFIXEDMEDIA' '-' D [08/Dec/2007:22:27:10 +0000] [Job 228] execv(gs): No such file or directory E [08/Dec/2007:22:27:10 +0000] [Job 228] Unable to open input D [08/Dec/2007:22:27:10 +0000] [Job 228] Child PID for gs is 13207 E [08/Dec/2007:22:27:10 +0000] [Job 228] Failed to load the PPM image D [08/Dec/2007:22:27:10 +0000] Discarding unused printer-state-changed event...

I saw the .log file open error, so I thought I would try again to issue: sudo aa-complain cupsys Can't find cupsys in the system path list. If the name of the application is correct, please run 'which cupsys' as a user with the correct PATH environment set up in order to find the fully-qualified path. Now I'm really in a pickle, as nothing prints....any thoughts? I'm going to reboot and see if that makes any difference.
