installed the cups.pet
installed the sane frontend/backend .pest
installed gphoto.pet

downloaded samsung unified drivers
extracted/ran samsung install
ignored warning about sane

xsane works for scanner (never have got it working under Ubuntu)

printer no joy

copied scx-4200.ppd file to /root (from extracted samsung drivers)

re installed cups.pet it found driver did the cups setup worked like a charm and scanning still works.

Edit

Guess I spoke to soon...Upon reboot if I try to print this message comes up in cups

[iscraigh]

continuing on my quasi successful attempt at getting this printer working.

I have found that killing and restarting the cups daemon fixes things.

Could someone tell me how I might do this automatically, or why this is needed. Is the daemon starting up too soon?

any tips appreciated

thanks
