[SOLVED] Can't load printer driver into my Fedora 12 box

[EdN]

I have a Samsung ML-1430 laser printer connected to my Fedora 12 box. I downloaded the appropriate Linux driver tar file from the Samsung website. After extracting the tar file into a directory called image, the following took place:
[Downloads]# ./image/setup.sh

This generates a "Linux Printer Package Setup" pop-up screen.
The following error messages occur after I process the pop-up screen which specifies a default install path [/usr/local/linuxprinter] and asks me to check an "Install CUPS 1.1" box and a "Begin Install" box.

Unable to find file 'cups/redhat/*.i386.rpm'

Any suggestions?

The good news is that printer shows to work "perfectly" under Linux according to OpenPrinting.org:

Printer: Samsung ML-1430 | OpenPrinting - The Linux Foundation

You should be able to skip on installing the tarballed package and simply download the PPD file from the site above and then move that file into the following folder:

/usr/share/cups/model

Note that you might also find the PPD file within the extracted tarball. Either way, move the PPD file to the above folder.

...then restart CUPS or reboot, then open your web browser and enter localhost:631 into the browser location bar to select and configure your printer using the CUPS interface.

Note that you'll need root permissions to move the PPD file into the above folder.
