Now here is the weird thing ... I did a Gnome -> Places -> Find Files
searching for ppd thinking that if there is an existing
folder I should
use it ... well along with a few other files it found in the
/usr/share/ppd/foomatic-rip/linuxpriting.org-gs-builtin/Samsun
g folder a
file called Samsung-ML-2010-gdi.ppd.gz

I'm assuming the printconf should have found this file and used it? So
do I need to do something to get printconf to work? or do I continue
with the Linux.org instructions and run alien and then dpkg?
What's the
best way to go?

Jan

In a web browser, try opening http://localhost:631/
This allows you to monitor and set up printers on your system. If you
get nothing, make sure cupsys is installed, and then try again.

Good luck.

Mark
