Samsung ML-1740?

Rate this Message:
I've a Samsung ML-1740 laser printer, and I'm often struggling when I need to configure it for use under Mac OS X. Samsung used to provide Mac driver, but they removed it some time ago (currently they support Linux and Windows only). There's some old unmaintained drivers for Mac in various archives, but they either don't work under OS X 10.5 or work in weird ways (printing pages in reverse order, or providing washed out output).
Is there any chance to see this printer supported by Gutenprint? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

Extremely unlikely. The Samsung ML-1740 uses the proprietary Samsung Printer Language. Gutenprint does not support this language. You may have some success using the drivers from OpenPrinting.org. <http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/samsung-gdi> -- Matt Broughton Only relatives are absolute. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

Sounds more promising than "host based". The Gutenprint drivers do not support color on laserjets or with the Generic PCL drivers. I think you should be able to at least use a generic PostScript PPD supplied in OS X to print to the HP CP1518i. -- Matt Broughton Only relatives are absolute. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

At the present time, the Gutenprint project does not have a maintainer for the PCL code. -- Matt Broughton Only relatives are absolute. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

We do not currently have a maintainer for the PCL driver, so no.

The HP P1006 uses the XQX stream protocol and is not supported by Gutenprint drivers. Some of the cheap HP's support PCL and some don't. For example, the 1022 does but the 1018 doesn't. There's no simple way to tell; you have to look carefully at the specs and the list of supported printers. -- Robert Krawitz <rlk@...> Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- http://ProgFree.org Project lead for Gutenprint -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
