Subject: Re: help needed with printers
I have reinstalled CUPS but the problem still remains. I can get my Samsung
colour laser printer to work through the usb port but not yhe Kyocera FS1010.
I am using 12.04 ubuntu.
By the way even when connected to the windows box as a shared
printer the ubuntu box cannot use the Kyocera.
Any suggestions welcome.

Peter Goggin
Can you connect to the Windows workgroup from the Ubuntu Box? Add a printer
and see if the Workgroup shows up. You should be able to see the Windows
machine and the printer connected to it. (Set the workgroup name in
/etc/samba/smb.conf and reboot)
I've played with installing the Kyocera drivers here and it seems to work OK -
I just don't have a Kyocera to test it properly.
The reason I suggested the purge when removing cups was because it seems that
there may be a problem with the Kyocera drivers - corrupted or unreadable.
Cups is working because you can install the Samsung driver, but it's bombing on
the Kyocera. I had hoped that if this was the case -purge and complete
re-install would fix it, but if it's re-using a bad file in the archives rather
than downloading it again...
Maybe get rid of the .deb archives and try again?
sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb
sudo apt-get purge cups
sudo apt-get install cups.
You should see the gutenprint drivers removed and then re-installed after
downloading

Having reinstalled CUPS I can get the Samsung Printer (connected via the
network) and the Kyocera (connected to my windows box) to work with the
Linux box.
I can get the Samsung printer to work as a USB printer on the Linux box,
but the Kyocer fails with the CUPS internal error when connectd to the
Linux box usb port.
I am getting a couple of usb to network print servers and will try to
connect the kyocera via the network print server..
I will let you know if this works.
