[Wylug-help] driver for Samsung clp-510 in SuSE 10.0

[Pastor Jeff Black]

Hi,

I have attempted to install the driver for my new Samsung clp 510 color 
laser printer and am still not printing.  When using the vendor cd for 
installation YaST gives me the following error, "cd data does not match 
running system.  Aborting now."  So then I downloaded the driver from 
Samsung and installed it up to the point of obtaining the administrator 
mode required.  I give it my su password and then receive the error, 
"authentication failed."  I've done this several times and am reasonably 
sure I am not mistyping my password.  The su password works perfectly 
well when working from the terminal.
Hence the install fails.

I have worked to install if from the terminal and it shows present when 
I ls.  Further, using YaST to configure the printer I now have the 
option of model number clp-510 and the correct ppd file to choose.  But 
still the printer does not print, doesn't even wake up.

PS.  I dual boot with windozeXP (am looking forward to the day I can 
wipe this but still need it since I haven't been able to connect to the 
internet via dial up with Linux SuSE 10.0 - wireless is perfect!), the 
Samsung installed flawlessly and prints the same so the hardware isn't 
the problem.

Any suggestions?  Thanks.

Jeff
