Fedora 7 'issues' (printer)

[Michael Hartley]

I have a Samsung ML-1510 Laser printer, connected to the CP via a USB
cable...

It worked perfectly well under RH8.

Under FC4, it worked ok once I managed to get it installed, but kept
disappearing, until someone from this list advised me how to tweak the OS to
make it work.

Under FC7, it worked for a couple of weeks, but now (after a YUM update) the
printer seems to be 'not connected - trying again in 30s'

Any advice?

I am tempted to downgrade to FC6, or *gasp!* even buy a cheap Windows XP
machine. I don't have time to be my own technical support department.

Yours, Mike H...

The Samsung unified printer driver works fine for me in F7. Covers lots of 
their models.

Not sure what you mean about this.  Can you be more specific?  Perhaps
it's relevant.

What does 'lpstat -s' say, and what does '/usr/sbin/lpinfo -v' say?

This printer is supposedly supported, as described here 
http://linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Samsung-ML-1510

See if that helps (using the driver they mention)
