Rasberry Pi Print Server

Amazing!

I snagged this bundle and set-up my Pi using an existing 4GB micro SD card following this article.

But I ran into some trouble, I kept getting an error saying this file could not be found when using the Linux PPD driver for my printer (a Samsung ML-1740): /usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertospl

I tried the universal print driver from here, but no dice! Frustrating… I hate having to turn my desktop on just to print. And, I’ll be damned if I’m going to buy something like this!

Fortunately my Google-foo skillz led me to this answer on StackExchange, and it saved my bacon. Thanks, Intarwebs.

After installing Splix I was able to select Samsung ML-1740, 2.0.0 as a print driver and it worked like a champ. Happy computing!
