Mike I downloaded new Unified drivers from Samsung and installed and
still get the same error message.
The driver that is recommend during the install, and only driver
available is Samsung CLX-3170 Series (SPL-C)
Which I think explains the rastertosamsungsplc
OK When I configured my own printer what I did (f14 originally and
recently f16) was only two things: After extracting the raster file
and ppd file from the Samsung unified driver package:
a) copied the raster file to /usr/lib/cups/filter/ and made sure its
permissions and selinux context matched the existing files in that
directory.
b) made a Samsung directory in /usr/share/cups/model/foomatic-db-ppds/Samsung/
c) used gzip to generate a gzipped file of the Samsung ppd file as
scx4500w.ppd.gz and put it in the directory created at b)
Then I plugged in the printer and defined a new printer under kde
using the printer setup ....
That was it -
Originally I followed the Samsung unified driver install instructions
and got into a mess!
That might work for you too if your method was to install the whole
unified driver set of files?
