Ive got a samsung ML-1210 and it was working before upgrading to slack 12 and on boot it shows the model number in the bootup messages.
I installed the ppd file and used
http://localhost:631 in a browser and it seems to have installed but I cannot print a test page and in KDE it shows the printer but does not respond at all.
When I get the dialog box to input a user and a password that does nothing no matter what I try.
Is there another way to install the printer? Do I need some other kind of driver?
