Have you followed these instructions?
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Samsung-ML-2510

Not yet, I will try this....


It seems to use the "splix" CUPS drivers, these are not available in
Debian yet.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=411167

It seems so. The foomatic gui in Etch RC1 recommended hpijs and pxlmono... I tried both but with the same result.

I found a site that lists the hpijs and pxlmono drivers that are supposed to work for the ML2510 printer and the newer ones including splix that Debian doesn't have.

I could try the gdi driver.... if Debian has it....???

I will keep messing with it.
