![]() I would have to pipe all errors to a file, edit the file to only include the 20+ package names, and script the removal (probably scp'ing the file to my system to edit it-did I mention the connection is sllooooww?!?) and redo the install. I tried to remove all samsung packages, but apt-get purge|remove doesn't accept wildcards. Yet, the apt-get install seemed to work, and the printer seems to have appeared correctly. According to dpkg –get-selections | grep samsung, no samsung packages are there. According to Synaptic, there are several packages available (and several versions), but none are installed. I find the mix of Linux package managers baroque and inconsistent (Solaris' wasn't great, but there was one, and it was consistent). ![]() Unfortunately for this problem, I was a Solaris admin. When he prints a file, the yellow printer light flashes for a few moments and then, nothing. I did have to run system-config-printer and make sure the HP was gone and remove the second ML-2160W that was showing. When he connected the printer and turned it on, it seems to have been added OK. He doesn't need anything fancy or high-volume, so I suggested the Samsung. He had an HP 1200 connected to the lpt: port, but it finally died. This is my father's system I am supporting it remotely.
