I have a usb printer Samsung ML 1610.
In my computer I have installed cups and all the packages mentioned in the cups wiki page. splix is also installed which is required for samsung.
when I do lsusb my printer is shown as connected. BUt in then cups webpage when i do find new printers it says no printers found.
What can be done. I want to connect to this printer as soon as possible.

There have been problems with wrong permissions for usb printers lately. To check this, use lsusb to get the bus and device number for your printer.
Then check with ls -l /dev/bus/usb/<bus>/<device> if your printer device has the "lp" group assigned. If not, use chgrp to change the group. Cups should now find your printer.
To make this solution permanent, you have to add a udev-rule, please search the forums for more information.

I have changed the group to lp
Still cups does not recognize.

Have you blacklisted the usblp module?

Same problem as sant527. I have blacklisted usblp and have checked to make sure it was not running after a reboot.
The printer is in perfect working order and is usable via VirtualBox. It also still works with my old laptop running Wolvix 1.0

I couldn't win the struggle with CUPS 1.4 either so I downgraded to 1.3.x.
See the downgrade packages wiki section.

Once I downgrade should I again install the printers through cups.

By the way I using cups 1.3.11-1 not 1.4
Offline
when i started usblp module
modprobe usblp
then my printer started.
Because 1.4.1 needs usblp to be blacklisted but 1.3.x does not need usblp to be blacklisted.

I have the exact same problem with my Dell 1110 which is a rebadged Samsung ML-1610. I'm using the latest CUPS 1.4.6
What I find strange is that it works fine in Kubuntu using CUPS 1.4 as well.
Any idea?
