    I recently bought the Samsung ML1710 Laser Printer. It says on the box is
    supports Linux, and the docs state SUSE is a supported distro.

    It's a USB only printer.

    Here's what happens. It detects the printer. CUPS doesn't have the ML-1710
    ppd file, so I downloaded the version of CUPS samsung has on its web site,
    untar the file and copy the ml1710.ppd file to my local system.

    I then point the CUPS util to the ppd file.

    I'm using SUSE 8.2 Pro with CUPS 1.1.18. The printer comes with CUPS 1.1.15
    onl the CD.

    YAST shows the printer with the proper description, and show the location of
    printer as "SB printer on //Unknown?serial=2261BAAW916952V0"

    When I use the test functions, or try to print to the printer, it doesn't do
    anything. The file doesn's show up in the printer queue.

    So, anyone have any idea about this?

    Thanks,

    Mark
