Binary package hint: splix

After upgrading to 9.04, my printer will not print. An error message pops up saying: 'SpLiX Invalid PPD file version: SpLiX V. 2.0.0 but the PPD file is designed for SpLiX V. 2.0.0'

Here is the troubleshoot file: http://www.jrffinancial.com/ubuntuhelp/troubleshoot.txt

I advise against the solution above. Installing the Samsung binary drivers will install several other libraries outside the purview of apt (e.g., qt libs, libstdc++5). A better solution is to reconfigure the printer.

Go to System => Administration => Printing, select your printer. Where the "Make and Model" of your printer is listed, select "Change..." to select a new print driver. Locate your printer, and click forward. You will be presented with a message titled "Existing Settings", to which you should answer "Use the new PPD (Postscript Printer Description) as is."

Printing a test page should now hopefully succeed (it did for me). Enjoy!

thank you for the advice josh. you were correct to discourage this solution. i had a hell of a time trying to un-install the driver. apt updates would not work until i did: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7161815

This bug was fixed in the package splix - 2.0.0-0.1ubuntu4

---------------
splix (2.0.0-0.1ubuntu4) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/splix.postinst: Improved regexp for matching the Nickname in the
    PPDs of the existing print queues with the new PPDs of this package
    (LP: #367650)
  * debian/control: Added "cups" to Depends: as a running CUPS daemon is needed
    for the automatic update of existing print queues (LP: #367650).
