I don't know that I can add anything to the cups discussion here, but I
understand you'd rather use lpr anyway. You are aware that the printer
will only speak splix the samsung universal driver language? So any
config would have to be based on that.

The foo2qpdl-wrapper program seems to support that fine.



Once you have that working maybe you can manually add the printer in
cups using lpd.

Maybe? For sure! It's quite easy to do it (make entry in
/etc/printcap, create spool directories, write printer
filter one-liner "foo2qpdl-wrapper -p 2 -c" which is the
essential part). I just hope printing will be possible
from applications (Opera, OpenOffice and Gimp are the
primary candidates) afterwards. You know, many "modern"
programs _expect_ CUPS to be present, some have hardcoded
"calls" to CUPS programs, some seem to even _not_ output
PS (which should be standard), but instead PCL or whatnot.



JIC you haven't considered this yet... HIH :)

Considered - yes, but I thought I would be able to avoid
it and use the "modern" CUPS toolkit for something simple
like printing. :-)
