I just picked this thread at this point. If you're using kde, it's as
simple as using the kde control center and choosing to add a printer; a
wizard will guide you (you'll see the choice of ML-1710).
Brendan -- I also have the ML-1740. Where did you get the CUPS install
program? I'm using the ML-1710 driver, which I set as in the previous
paragraph, as the ML-1740 is not listed. Things work, but not optimally,
so info on using the actual ML-1740 driver would be appreciated.
Thanks,
