I'm going starkers trying to set up a CUPS server using only stable packages (and whatever extra printer-specific file(s) I need).
I installed cupsys, cupsys-client, cupsys-bsd, gs and a2ps from stable. I went to www.linuxprinting.org and downloaded the Samsung-ML-1210-gdi.ppd and foomatic-rip files, and followed the instructions to set up the new printer in CUPS. I set the log level to debug2 (log everything), restarted the server, and tried to send a test page. The log reflects that everything worked. I started top and watched as foomatic-rip ate up all the memory and was killed. So I believe I've isolated the problem to foomatic-rip. Unfortunately IANAP. Does anyone have any suggestions? Kevin P.S. I am able to print a Postscript file with this complex command: cat file.ps | gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=gdi -sPAPERSIZE=letter -r500 -sOutputFile=- - | > /dev/lp0 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
