Apologies for not responding significantly sooner. I do not know what happened with the request such that I did not see it.
The short answer is that the 'model' directory and all subdirectories of that, including samsung and cms did not exist, much less the file CLP- 510cms As noted at the time, the solution I tried that worked was to run system-config-printer with gksudo. While that worked under Interepid, I'm afraid that the workaround does not work under the current release of system-config-printer under Jaunty, or the alpha of Karmic. I have not tried all possible methods of getting this to work, but so far I have tried running the installer with gksudo, as a normal user, and have even tried installing the printer through pointing a web browser at http://localhost:631/ to no avail. I've tried creating the path to the cms files so that the installer can write to them. no luck with that either. Because the behavior appears to be different I suspect that I should be filing a new bug report, but may point back at this one as a similar issue. The events that I am seeing in the /var/log/cups/error_log are: E [24/Aug/2009:00:43:46 -0500] cupsdAuthorize: Local authentication certificate not found! E [24/Aug/2009:00:43:49 -0500] cupsdAuthorize: Local authentication certificate not found!

I am able to add an ML-2150 laser printer without issue. As a result, the issue may very well be with the SpliX portion of the installer or such.

Still no joy. What I finally was able to get to work was to download and use the unified drivers. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=341621 If there is an interest in continuing to debug this situation, let me know. I do have several systems available and am willing to put different releases on a collection of drives to see what works and what does not. A brief explanation of the setup. I have a Hawking Technologies Print Server PS12U. This print server has 3 ports to print to, 1 parallel, and 2 usb ports. Attached to these ports are a Samsung ML-2150 on the parallel port, lp1, a Samsung CLP-510 Color Laser Printer on LP2 and an HP Officejet Pro K5400 on lp3. The server is attached to the local network as pserv (dns configured and working.) ipp://pserv/lp1 and ipp://pserv/lp3 configured manually (i.e. verify and probe do not work) and work with the drivers included with the alpha for Karmic. ipp://pserv/lp2 will work with the Unified drivers as a separate install, but not with the splix drivers that Karmic includes, and has not worked reliably under Jaunty. -- system-config-printer needs admin privleges https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263802 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
