Bug Description

The Samsung ML-1740 is not listed in CUPS. I searched the internet, and the general concensus was to choose the 1710 driver. This works perfectly with no problems. There should be a listing on the 1740 that just uses the 1710 configuration.

At first, if a printer is not listed in the gnome-cups-manager or any other printer setup tool, this is caused by the printer not being in the foomatic-db package on your installed system.

Look up the printer on linuxprinting.org to see whether it is already added upstream.

I have added this printer and other Samsung laser printers today. I also added the new SPL2 driver "splix" to the database.

To fix this problem in Ubuntu it is only needed to update foomatic-db to the current snapshot and to add the "splix" driver. Then this printer will work perfectly out of the box.
