Can't load printer driver into my Fedora 12 box


Recommended Posts

I have a Samsung ML-1430 laser printer connected to my Fedora 12 box. I downloaded the appropriate Linux driver tar file from the Samsung website. After extracting the tar file into a directory called image, the following took place:

[Downloads]# ./image/setup.sh

 

This  generates a "Linux Printer Package Setup" pop-up screen.

The following error messages occur after I process the pop-up screen which specifies a default install path [/usr/local/linuxprinter] and asks me to check an "Install CUPS 1.1" box and a "Begin Install" box.

 

Unable to find file 'cups/redhat/*.i386.rpm'

Starting cups:                                            [  OK  ]

Any suggestions?
