hmmm... you took it one step further.i tried running both of those script lines, and found another possible problem. running the first line gives "db_get: command not found"

what package is db_get from?

That's the weird thing.  I seached on debian for packages containing db_get but it didn't find any!  I assumed since I did see a message box querying the paper size and the /etc/papersize.dpkg-inst file was created with that paper size that it all went OK.

good news. cups.dsl solved the problem - the samsung install disc required that first. now i can run the setup.sh from the samsung website. (LLPD) - just have to get this working now... it's being fussy.

other ml-1740 users, i've been reading about problems. cups.dsl seems to be the way to get it on... also, i think you need to be running XFree86 - last i tried to install under root (still running the old DSL X) it didn't work.

...as far as I know, you only need to set
  a root password to get into the webmin-type config..

  ( sudo passwd - follow prompts )

and now we're getting sidetracked. the installed seemed to work beautifully. llpr replaces lpr and cups, but somehow required them to be there... my printer is detected, either usb or through paralell, and then called "lp" or whatever i want... BUT now...

i notice that the terminal behind the lpr (llpr) window is telling me that it can't connect to the server... can't find lp:box

so next step, i try to make sure the server is running. i start cups, i try to start lpr using the dsl menu, which now doesn't work. no change.

it sees the printer, but it cant set it up. i can't even print a test page...any ideas?
