hi there,
i am attempting to recognize a network printer on my red hat box. i know the IP, i have procured the correct driver, however, CUPS (nor the add printer utility) doesn't recognize the driver nor the printer type. i am assuming this has to do with the location of the driver. can anyone tell me how to update my printer drivers so i can finally print? thanks a million.
ps. driver: Samsung-ML-3051ND-Postscript.ppd
printer: samsung ML-3051ND
The gzipped .ppd file goes in /usr/share/cups/model, and you need to specify this model name when creating the print queue. I do it from the command-line using lpadmin ... -l modelname ....
cool, thanks. i'm almost there. the issue i now have is that i don't have the command "lpadmin" at my disposal. is it in a different directory than /usr/bin (where the other lp commands are)? thanks again...
thanks again for all of your help. i found the lpadmin command and attempted to use the command line to install the printer and driver. after beating my head on it for a while (and trying to use CUPS) i have decided to come back to the forum and ask how one would do this correctly. i am (wrongly) attempting:
How is this printer connected to your system? Directly? Or is it a network printer? I presume you will need to specify the -v to specify how it is connected.
I misled you earlier when I said -l... the following syntax should work (note no .gz)
-E enables the printer. You can do that separately with /usr/lib/enable Samsung-ML-3051ND if it is currently disabled, which you can check with lpstat -p.
thanks again for all your help. i really think we're getting somewhere. my computer (as well as cups) now recognizes the driver and the printer. the printer is a network printer attached to a static IP. so i'm guessing what i need to do now is configure the queue? again, i tried and failed. your help is greatly appreciated.
