I first tried the 'standard' procedure also described in the handbook. The 'data' light on the printer flashes for a bit, then there is some activity (as in parts of the printer moving), but it never gets to actually moving paper in and printing. I then tried apsfilter, no luck there either. I used the standard ghostscript and non-ghostscript drivers, but nothing. Cups was my last resort (though it's nice not to have a boatload of dependencies like apsfilter). This didn't work either though. For all of the above, the printer mostly seems to have some 'pre-print' activity, then just sits there. 'lpq' shows active queues (for example, here is some output from when I was using cups): rn-re116a13# /usr/local/bin/lpq Samsung is ready and printing Rank Owner Job File(s) Total Size active root 3 losscode.ps 268288 bytes 1st root 4 losscode.ps 268288 bytes I made a second attempt at using cups using the .ppd file Samsung supplied on a CD, but no luck there. This is on a -CURRENT system from Feb 3. I'd appreciate any help or hints anyone could give me. Thanks.
