I used to be able to print before but I recently starting trying to share
the printer through samba and I must have broken it. I then moved the
printer to another machine, with a fresh slack-11 install (no x11), but I
still can't print. Attached is a log I get when I try to do:

lp -d samsung test.txt

I imagine that's a way to test it from command line. I wanted to try command
line since the web admin tool spits out more debug stuff. I also noticed
that the admin tool says this for my printer:

samsung (Default Printer) "Failed to load the PPM image"
Description: samsung
Location:
Make and Model: Samsung ML-2010 Series (SPL II)
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, published.
Device URI: usb://Samsung/ML-2010


I looked up the "Failed to load the PPM image" and couldn't find any
solutions. But it looks like I'm not the only person with these problems.
Was something updated that broke this? I might have had slackware 10.x on
my first desktop and that may explain why it worked before. Anyway, any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my log: (the lp command shown earlier kicks off job 3, but i guess
job 2 needs to get unloaded...)

It turned out that the text-based version of the installer was lame. I
didn't have X installed on the new machine b/c I was planning on using it
as a fileserver. Anyway, I installed X and ran the installer and it gave me
a warning about sane not being installed. I installed those packages and it
magically worked. I'm gonna send a bug report to the samsung guys and
hopefully they will take it well.
