[sf-lug] CUPS printer on Leopard

[Nathan Hoover]

I was just being sarcastic about the Mac server bit... :)

In reference to the drivers, I bought the printer only recently, so, I have
downloaded the driver from Samsung within the past couple weeks, but I'll
make sure it's up to date. I've never tried printing with it directly
connected to the computer, I suppose that would nail down a driver issue, if
any. I've been less motivated to do so since it's installed in the closet
and all my Linux and Windows machines are working fine with it. I'll give
that a try tonight.

Rick, Tyler, thanks for the links and suggestions, I will try them tonight.

Regards,
Nathan
