Hello:
I am trying to set up a Minolta Magicolor QMS printer.
The printer is a postscript laser printer.
(The actual model number is QMS 6110 and it is dis-
continued). The printer is set up to connect via ether-
net.
I obtained the software for it from the Konica Minolta
site today. It is Page Scope for Linux but the documen-
tation refers to Red Hat and Suse with 2.2.x kernels.
If it is a postscript printer and the manufacturer has provided you
with the .ppd file, you should be able use that ppd file to print to
the printer. You might want to install cupsys and go to
http://localhost:631 for installing and configuring your printer
Yes, I believe I do have the ppd file, it was with the software for the
Mac OSX
set up. Where would I put the file? (a particular directory for that?
Mac does have
a dedicated dir for those files).
thank you for your response.

You can go to http://localhost:631 (after installing cupsys)
From there follow the steps to install a printer. On one of the pages
you will be given the choice of selecting a driver or uploading your ppd
file.
I don't know whether you can use the ppd file from the Mac driver in
linux. Theoretically, I think it should work, but I never manager to get
one of our network printers to work in linux using the windows ppd file.
Anyway, the procedure is simple enough, so is worth a shot.
