Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cups
I bought a cheapo OKI Data Corp B410 USB/Parallel printer which is
detected under Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid, but it prompts me for a driver. It
seems we don't ship the right driver for this printer. I extracted the
PPD from the Mac OSX driver and went through the prompts in the add
printer wizard on Ubuntu to add the PPD file to my 10.04 system. I then
printed a test page which came out fine first time.
It looks like a fairly generic PCL printer.
I have attached the PPD to this bug report in the hope it can be
included in Ubuntu or whatever config is required in Ubuntu to make this
work can be done.
