Bug Description

There's a lot of Phaser 31XX printer drivers in Ubuntu, but none for 3110.

3110 doesn't work with drivers for other 31XX models (I tried some), but works nicely with Samsung ML-1210 driver.

All of the above is true not only for Jaunty, but at least since 8.04, and maybe even before that.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, linuxprinting.org
does not list the Phaser 3110 as being supported under linux.

I does however show drivers for the 3115, 3116, 3117 and 3120.

If none of them work then you will have to continue to use the Samsung driver.

thanks

I understand that it isn't an issue of Ubuntu itself, but of linuxprinting.org; but I report here in case you care :)

For me personally there's no problem in using Samsung driver, but overall experience for other users would improve if they can find phaser 3110 in the list - even if unerneath it's samsung.

This bug was fixed in the package foomatic-db - 20090617-0ubuntu1

---------------
foomatic-db (20090617-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
    - Many new printer models added (Fixes: LP: #10871, LP: #83960,
      LP: #114681, LP: #121060, LP: #258058, LP: #273975, LP: #343444,
      LP: #371737).
    - More user-friendly UI strings for the "Print Quality" option in some
      Brother PPD files (LP: #141487).
    - Replaced broken PPD for the Kyocera FS-9100DN by the one for the
      FS-9120DN (LP: #344691).
    - Added "*cupsFilter:" lines to all PCL-XL PPD files from Ricoh and OEM
      so that they accept PDF as input format. This assures that always the
      most straightforward CUPS filter chain gets used and interferences
      between filters (like LP: #361772) get avoided.
    - Removed "Black and White" Color Mode (1 bit per pixel) from the
      "cdj550" driver. This mode is not supported by the driver (LP: #337133).
    - DesignJet driver assignement fixes, new "cdnj500" driver.
    - Correction of auto-detection strings.
    - Addition of CUPS custom option definitions to the PPDs from Ricoh
      family and OEM.
    - New "pxldpl" driver entry for the Dell 3010cn and Dell DPL printers
      in general.
  * Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
    - Driver entries removed for drivers which are not shipped by Ubuntu
    - Fixed manufacturer-supplied PPDs: "*CloseUI <option>" ->
      "*CloseUI: <option>", "*1284DeviceId" -> "*1284DeviceID".
    - openprinting-ppds-extra package with PPDs from Ricoh family and OEM
      and non-English PPDs from Kyocera
    - Linked PPD files with Foomatic database, so that links in the Foomatic
      XML files keep working.
    - Removed link into /usr/share/cups/model, it makes PPDs appearing
      twice.
    - debian/patches/bjc600-bjc800.patch: Removed workaround for Ghostscript
      crashing when feeding bjc600/bjc800 drivers with PDF. The Ghostscript
      shipped by Ubuntu is fixed.
    - foomatic-filters-ppds discontinued upstream, updated debian/control
      appropriately.
    - foomatic-db does not make sense without foomatic-db-engine and
      foomatic-filters, made the Recommends: a Depends:.
