I'm trying to set up my printer (a Samsung ML-1450 (which looks like an HP Laserjet)) according to the "Gentoo Printing Guide". There is no problem with the USB connection to it. I've got as far as printing a test page (in section 4). The page doesn't print. The error message in /var/log/cups/error_log is: Filter "foomatic-rip" for printer "ML-1450" not available: no such file or directory The driver I've downloaded and installed is pxlmono (as recommended). I've tried emerge foomatic, to no avail. How do I get foomatic-rip and get it working? Thanks in advance! -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
