I have already installed the PDF printer and it works fine.My iMAC is ethernet cabled to the LAN side of a wireless (Netgear) router.My new HP Photosmart C3180 connects to the Mac by USB. I just need to add my other printer which is a HP Photosmart C3180. By installing 1.3.11 over the top of cups-1.4.3, I think that was the version, has now fixed the problem. Patriot it was not your CUPS packages that crashed anything, it was in fact the Samsung installation program that I used to install the the driver. CUPS is working perfect and so is the Samsung ML-1660 printer. rcrsn51 I installed Patriot pets 1,2 and 5 as suggested. It contains the key components from the Unified Driver and may work for you. I have attached my Samsung driver PET below. If you need to reinstall CUPS, I would recommend the 1.3.11 version from here. Unfortunately, its auto-installer script isn't designed for Puppy and it sounds like it has somehow damaged CUPS. You also need the filter program that is included in the Samsung Unified Driver package that you have. Rcrsn51 wrote:It's not enough to just install the PPD file. Very good value for money at $98 and only $75 for toner cartridges which will print 1500 pages, much better that most of the inkjets I have used in the past. I have tried this neat little printer under windows and it works very well. I would be very interested to try your pet package if it includes the correct driver and I can repair CUPS. I did try another couple of models from the CUPS package like 1650 & 1651 as some times you can get lucky, but they didn't work either. I did consider the Splix package but I also noticed my printer model wasn't there. Previously I just placed in in the /root/ directory when testing it manually. The other thing I was thinking of trying was to place the ML-1660spl.ppd file in the correct area of the cups file structure. I am considering reinstalling CUPS over the existing broken one but I have read sometimes that doesn't work. Now I'm not sure why this error occurred and how to fix it. I actually like CUPS but now and then it can really give me the s&%s when it does things like this. Next time I ran CUPS all I got was Internal Server Error 500. ppd file was in the package as that's where I had extracted a copy of it earlier. It all looked very promising until I got to the part where I had to select the driver but none were displayed. After a lot of head scratching I noticed that The unified driver that I downloaded from Samsung had an installation file called autorun, so I clicked on it. I then checked the jobs and noticed the printer had been stopped. When I did a Print Test Page, nothing happened. CUPS actually recognised the correct Samsung model that was connected to the PC running lupu-500. Firstly I just installed the ML-1660spl.ppd manually into CUPS. I downloaded the printer driver from the Samsung web site. Smokey01 wrote:Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Please!
