help needed with printers<br>
</font> </div>
<br>
I have a Kyocera FS1010 laser printer. I have tried
attaching it to my ubuntu box using the usb port. Ths
system finds the printer and tries to load the drivers
but then comes up with a CUPS Server internal error.<br>
Originally the kyocera was attached to my windows box as
a shared printer and I could see it form the ubuntu box,
but following the upgrade to 10.04 I started getting
the CUPS error.<br>
<br>
How can I fix it so that I can use the kyocera as a usb
printer on the ubuntu box?<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
<br>

I have reinstalled CUPS but the problem still remains. I can get my
Samsung colour laser printer to work through the usb port but not
yhe Kyocera FS1010. I am using 12.04 ubuntu.<br>
<br>
By the way even when connected to the windows box as a shared
printer the ubuntu box cannot use the Kyocera.<br>
Any suggestions welcome.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
