I forgot to mention



maybe most of the people won't have the problems I had.



So basically, the 

'bash /media/cdrom/setup.sh' program will copy a lot of PPD files to
the folder

'/usr/local/linuxprinting/ppd/C'





I think that the default folder was '/usr/local/linuxprinting'



Anyway, when you run the 'linux-config' program, then whenever you
install a printer (for example the Samsung ML 1740 model), the
following file */usr/local/linuxprinting/ppd/C/ML-1740spl2.ppd* will be
copyied to *'/usr/share/cups/model/ML-1740spl2.ppd'*



Then, you can use GNOME or KDE to add a printer, and the device will
appear then.



EASY WAY
I suppose you could just copy the entire contents of the CD ppd files
to your HD (I haven't tested this yet) 



'CP -PV /MEDIA/CDROM/PPD/C/*.PPD  /USR/SHARE/CUPS/MODEL' 


Then go to KDE or Gnome printing, install a new printer, and all the
models listed there:



CLP-500splc

CLP-550ps

ML-1210spl

ML-1430spl

ML-1440spl

ML-1450pcl

ML-1450ps

ML-1450spl

ML-1510spl2

ML-1710spl2

ML-1740spl2

ML-1750spl2

ML-2150ps

ML-2150spl2

ML-2550ps

ML-2550Sps

ML-2550Sspl2

ML-6060pcl

ML-6060ps

ML-7300pcl

ML-7300ps



For instance, the *Samsung ML-1740* will work with the
*ML-1740spl2.pdd* driver



Finally I have a suggestion/question



Is there any way to install all these drivers with apt-get?
