    Hi,
    I've asked for ideas before on how to setup my Samsung ML-1510 printer,
    and respondents have been very helpful, given me plenty of ideas. Plus
    that I've done a lot of googling on the subject.
    However, everytime I need to print something I have reboot into XP because
    I have been incapable of setting up this printer.

    My system is Debian Sarge, and I love it. But I do not understand enough
    about CUPS, lpr, lpd etc to be able to see where the problem lies. This
    printer plugs into a USB port, and if I type "lsusb" in command line I get

    Bus 002 Device 005: ID 04e8:3242 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd
    Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
    Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
     
    Cups message says "Could not find a suitable printer!"
    I also looked at http://diwww.epfl.ch/~fleuret/installations.html#ml1710
    but again was unsuccessful.

    Please, is there no tool which will simply detect the printer, whichever
    USB port it is plugged to? Which will take me through a step by step
    process to install this?

    MTIA
