    Hi guys!

    Regarding the CUPS and ML-1710 SAMSUNG printer, I think that there are
    some issues here.

    This seems to work for a couple of hours, but, suddenly it stops,
    then,I need to restart the service manually or by printing someting
    using the lpr command from a terminal. This is quite anoying because I
    have smb users complaining about the availability of the printer.

    Hesty already reported this problem and Tim replied him with a
    question, I just wanted to help and to see if there is a possible
    solution to this problem. thanks ! =)

    "Hello all,

    I am having problem with cups after naively running
    setup script for Samsung ML-1710 laser printer (USB).
    The driver is available here:
    http://www.samsung.com/Products/Printer/support/Download/driver/
    driver_SamsungLinuxDriver_0000004418_3.htm

    Afterwards, everytime starting cups, I get this error
    message:

    Starting cups: Traceback (most recent call last):
       File "/usr/sbin/printconf-backend", line 7, in ?
         import backend
       File "/usr/share/printconf/util/backend.py", line
    52, in ?
         which = cups_import.which_spooler ()
       File "/usr/share/printconf/util/cups_import.py",
    line 191, in which_spooler
         which = l.split ('.')[1].strip ()
    IndexError: list index out of range

    I cannot run redhat-config-printer,
    redhat-config-printer-gui, printconf, etc. More
    importantly, I cannot print to the printer :(

    Any ideas?

    Cheers,
    Hesty"

    Tim asked Hesty the next lines:

    "What does '/usr/sbin/alternatives --display print' say as the very
    first two lines of the output?"

    And this is what I have:

    "print - status is auto.
      link currently points to /usr/local/linuxprinter/bin/llpr
    /usr/bin/lpr.cups - priority 40
      slave print-cancel: /usr/bin/cancel.cups"

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you in advance!
    Leon
