[Bug 365977] Re: Cannot print to usb printer using Okular

[Darshaka Pathirana]

Hi!

Also stumbled over this problem.

System: Kubuntu 10.04

We have a Samsung CLP-510 and installed the printer driver provided by
[1][2].

[1] http://www-personal.umich.edu/~tjwatt/suldr/
[2] http://www.bchemnet.com/suldr/

After installing the driver okular stopped printing. So I started okular by command line,
printed a page and got this output:

% okular testfile.pdf
okular(4483)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig:
okular(4483)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig:

(Sorry for the german locale but "LANG=C okular testfile.pdf" did not
bring up my printer and I had no time to debug that problem.)

It seems that "lpr" provided by Samsung does not implement the "-r"
option ("Specifies that the named print files should be deleted after
printing them.") and therefor fails to print. My workaround is to move
the symlink out of the way:

% mv /usr/local/bin/lpr /usr/local/bin/lpr_samsung

The default "lpr" seems to work with Samsung drivers but I still have to
investigate.
