Hi folks, I am struggeling with a little problem, I can not explain.
A friend of mine uses a printer (Samsung SL-C480FW), which is connected to the router with wireless. However, although there are no drivers and no ppd-files installed, the printer is seen by cups (and also by system-printer-config) but can not be used (think, because the missing ppd-file). When this is installed, udev-entries and so on are set, then the printer is seen for example with ipp://192.168.*.*. However, printing does not work, although the printer gets data, but then hangs. I believe, this is a driver problem (because this appeared, since my friend got a new router (FritzBox). I hope, for this I will find a solution, so hints are welcome, buut not the reason for this thread. Much more I am interested, to know, why I can not delete the printer in CUPS or system-config-printer? Any printer I add, can be deleted, but the last entry can not be deleted. What is wrong? Why does the kernel see the correct printer, and where does it get its information? It is not connected at the USB-port, so no information could be taken from this. Any ideas? Thanks for any help! Best regards Hans
