Description of problem: system-config-printer don't show many printers, based on Samsung, no drivers. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cups-drivers-splix-2.0.0-6.mga4.i586.rpm How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. connect Samsung SCX-4600 2. no driver 3. if to use https://sourceforge.net/p/splix/code/HEAD/tree/splix/ppd/scx4600.ppd , then no printing Solution: update cups-drivers-splix with according Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch Linux without .ppd, but with .drv. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
system-config-printer don't show many printers, because there is bug https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9902 also. cups-drivers-splix will be installed if to install task-printing, but system-config-printer want to install task-printing-server and task-printing-hp only.

I have uploaded a updated package for Mageia 4. You can test this for printers: Toshiba eSTUDIO180S Lexmark X215 MFP Dell 1100 Dell 1110 Xerox WorkCentre 3119 Xerox WorkCentre PE16 Xerox WorkCentre PE114e Xerox Phaser 3115 Xerox Phaser 3116 Xerox Phaser 3120 Xerox Phaser 3121 Xerox Phaser 3130 Xerox Phaser 3420 Xerox Phaser 3425 Xerox Phaser 5500 Xerox Phaser 3150 Xerox Phaser 3160 Xerox Phaser 3117 Xerox Phaser 3122 Xerox Phaser 3124 Xerox Phaser 3140 Xerox Phaser 3155 Xerox Phaser 6100 Xerox Phaser 6110 Samsung SCX-4100 Samsung SCX-4200 Samsung SCX-4216F Samsung SCX-4300 Samsung SCX-4500 Samsung SCX-4521F Samsung SF-565P Samsung ML-1510 Samsung ML-1520 Samsung ML-1610 Samsung ML-1710 Samsung ML-1740 Samsung ML-1750 Samsung ML-2571 Samsung ML-2250 Samsung ML-2251 Samsung ML-3471ND Samsung ML-3560 Samsung ML-2150 Samsung ML-2550 Samsung ML-1630 Samsung ML-1640 Samsung ML-2010 Samsung ML-2015 Samsung ML-2240 Samsung ML-2510 Samsung ML-1660 Samsung ML-1910 Samsung ML-2525 Samsung ML-2525W Samsung ML-2580 Samsung ML-2580N Samsung ML-3050 Samsung ML-3051 Samsung ML-3310 Samsung SCX-3200 Samsung SCX-4600 Samsung SCX-4623f Samsung SCX-4623fw Samsung ML-2160 Samsung ML-3051ND Samsung ML-3310ND Samsung SCX-5330N Samsung SCX-5530FN Samsung ML-1915 Samsung ML-2165 Samsung CLP-500 Samsung CLP-550 Samsung CLP-510 Samsung CLP-200 Samsung CLP-600 Samsung CLX-2170 Samsung CLP-300 Samsung CLP-310N Samsung CLX-216X Samsung CLX-3160 Samsung CLP-310 Samsung CLP-315 Suggested advisory: ======================== Updated cups-drivers-splix packages fix: - some printers from this list were absent in system-config-printer before a update, for example, Samsung SCX-4600 - move old PPDs, use DRVs instead with according Fedora, Debian, Arch Linux - add patches from Fedora (IEEE 1284 Device IDs) and Debian (alignment on arm) - enable JBIG1 (JBIG1 is free of known patents in all countries from 2012-04-04) - add info about color profile (from Arch Linux) in %post - other small changes It means after a update new printers will work, which before did not work and printers will work, which uses JBIG1 (JBIG printers [such as the CLP-600, CLP-300, CLP-315, etc.] won't work with SpliX if the JBIG algorithm is disabled). ======================== Updated packages in core/updates_testing: ======================== cups-drivers-splix-2.0.1-0.20130826svn315.1.mga4.i586.rpm cups-drivers-splix-2.0.1-0.20130826svn315.1.mga4.x86_64.rpm Source RPMs: cups-drivers-splix-2.0.1-0.20130826svn315.1.mga4.src.rpm

Test ? MGA4 on real 64-bit hardware, KonicaMinolta Magicolour 1600w printer. Installed this printer from cold, it downloaded a lot of printing software but *not* that in question. I specifically installed cups-drivers-splix from Release media. Then added the printer: had to specifically choose the make/model, but it worked OK. Deleted the printer. Updated from Core Updates Testing cups-drivers-splix-2.0.1-0.20130826svn315.1.mga4.x86_64.rpm and repeated the 'addition' of the printer. Again needed to specifically choose its make/model, but it worked OK. Since this 'test' did not involve one of the printer models cited, it goes no further than showing that the package updates without visible problems, & [other] printer installation is not adversely affected.

The colour profile info should probably be in a README.urpmi or README.urpmi.update rather than cat <<EOF in %post Alex. WDYT? Preparing... ############################################################### 1/1: cups-drivers-splix ############################## Installation of the color profile for color printers: ----------------------------------------------------- Color printers need color profile files to get better results. These files are provided by your printer manufacturer and you have to install them manually. To do that, download the official linux drivers and locate the "cms" directory. Install the contents to "/usr/share/cups/profiles/$MANUFACTURER". Samsung color profile files are available at: (Then use MANUFACTURER=samsung) http://splix.ap2c.org/samsung_cms.tar.bz2 1/1: removing cups-drivers-splix-2.0.0-6.mga4.i586 ##############################
