ebuild for splix-2.0.0

Works flawlessly (duplex etc.) for my Samsung ML-2015.
Steps for installation:
0) delete current printer using cups web interface and do '/etc/init.d/cupsd stop' (just to be safe)
1) mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/splix_overlay/net-print/splix
2) put splix-2.0.0.ebuild in that folder
3) append "/usr/local/portage/splix_overlay" to PORTDIR_OVERLAY in /etc/make.conf
4) ebuild /usr/local/portage/splix_overlay/net-print/splix/splix-2.0.0.ebuild digest 
5) if you're running a stable system, put 'net-print/splix' in /etc/portage/package.keywords
6) emerge splix

P.S. ebuild is made of splix-1.1.1.ebuild ;) (I only deleted 1.1.0-fix-makefile.patch, though it might be useful). Good luck!

Seems working for me (ML-2571, although I have to use ML-1710 ppd according to http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Samsung-ML-2571).

Thank you very much!

Works fine on my Samsung ML2010 printer.

[Comment 4 Marek Rychly 2009-03-11 19:20:15 UTC]

It works fine for me (printer Xerox Phaser 3130).

Thank you. Works fine for me an amd64 with CLX-2160, text quality is good, color quality not: too dark

[Comment 6 André-Sebastian Liebe 2009-03-20 09:22:26 UTC]

What I'm missing in this ebuild is support for the samsung color management files.
They can be downloaded at: http://splix.ap2c.org/samsung_cms.tar.bz2
This file contains cms files for all samsung clp and clx printers supported by splix driver and needs to be extracted to /usr/share/cups/model/samsung/cms

(In reply to comment #5)
They make a huge visual difference for me when printing colored pages!

QA fixes and install cms files

The makefile patch is used to respect CFLAGS/LDFLAGS, toolchain binaries, and not stripping binaries at install. I've updated them for 2.0.0, and added cms files installation

[Comment 9 Bernard Cafarelli 2009-10-14 13:18:25 UTC]

Wolfram, do you still maintain this one? If not, I can update it in portage once I can test it (as I should get one of these printers in the next weeks)

[Comment 10 Serhij S. Stasyuk 2009-10-14 14:36:51 UTC]

Works fine for me. ~x86, Samsung SCX-4200

[Comment 11 Serhij S. Stasyuk 2009-10-18 17:05:20 UTC]

http://splix.ap2c.org/samsung_cms.tar.bz2 is unavailable for ebuild in comment ~8.

Added in portage, thanks everyone (tested with a SCX-4500W)
