Hello: I am trying to set up a Minolta Magicolor QMS printer. The printer is a postscript laser printer. (The actual model number is QMS 6110 and it is dis- continued). The printer is set up to connect via ether- net. I obtained the software for it from the Konica Minolta site today. It is Page Scope for Linux but the documen- tation refers to Red Hat and Suse with 2.2.x kernels.
If it is a postscript printer and the manufacturer has provided you with the .ppd file, you should be able use that ppd file to print to the printer. You might want to install cupsys and go to http://localhost:631 for installing and configuring your printer
Does anyone have experience with this enough to tell me if there might be compatibility issues, or special considerations and issues particular to Debian. I am running Debian etch on AMD64. I was successful in getting it up on Mac OSX, but that uses Appletalk. Actually, I have netatalk installed on the Debian system. Is there advantage in using that? I want to be able to print out of graphics programs like Ink Scape, Blender, Gimp, etc and this is the first time I have tackled printer setup on a Linux system. Thanks in advance for assistance, advice, suggestions; Jeff K
