Thanks, sorry: the printer is the Samsung ML-191x 252x Series, the software I'm
using to manage it is the Debian package cups and `aptitude show' says it's
installed in my Sid box at the version 2.4.2-1+b2.  The driver I think is the
file called ML-191xspl2.ppd.  I do:

 $ lp -P 1 ing.pdf 

and the output:

 request id is Samsung_ML-191x_252x_Series-694 (1 file(s))

and nothing happens.  In the "Jobs" section of the printing localhost it says

 stopped 
 "Filter failed"

I hope it's all right.  Logs I wouldn't know...

Thanks,

Rodolfo
