Quite a few new (and not-so-new) printers have been added to splix recently. Ubuntu also offers a package for the 20110219 snapshot. The svn repository hasn't changed since. I compiled these snapshot sources and installed them. Apart from a few compiler warnings everything worked smooth and cups seems to cooperate with a Samsung ML 1910 monochrome laser printer now. Reproducible: Always
Thanks for the bugreport and reminder! After the new patches in june, I thought a new version would be released soon, but some time has passed since then I have added splix-2.0.0_p20110219 to tree, can you test and confirm it works with your printer?
(In reply to comment #1) > I have added splix-2.0.0_p20110219 to tree, can you test and confirm it works > with your printer? Thanks a lot! It compiled fine, i will check it out later. But i suspect, there is a '+' missing in the module.mk sed statement: sed -e "/[a-z]_LDFLAGS/s/:=.*/:= $\{LDFLAGS\}/" -i module.mk \ should probably read sed -e "/[a-z]\+_LDFLAGS/s/:=.*/:= $\{LDFLAGS\}/" -i module.mk \ (and i am not sure, if it is wise to remove the cups-LDFLAGS this way).
Please ignore the remark about the sed script abv, i will read your regex more carefully next time. ;-) I tried your new driver with the abv. mentioned Samsung ML 1910, it seems to work perfectly well. There is one wish left: the number of threads are set to two, it would be nice, if this could be configure or would be read e. g. from kernel configuration. Thanks a lot for providing us with the new driver.
Thanks for confirmation! Even better, a configuration/runtime option for threads would be nice... Either way it's in my todo list for splix
splix-2.0.0_p20110219-r1 does not work. I don't know exactly if this is because of the newer ghostscript version or if it is a problem with the PPDs: trying to print the test page yields an "invalid type application/postscript" error. This happens for printers working fine with splix-2.0.0 (like Dell Laser Printer 1100) as well as with newer printers like Samsung ML 2580N, which works fine with splix-2.0.0_p20110219. Should we open a new bug for this?
