The problem with the cups.dsl extension is that it doesn't contain many printer drivers. (Which is also the problem with DSL's built-in printing support.) On linuxprinting.org, you can download their ppd's and "foomatic" perl scripts for many printer models. Unfortunately, for my Samsung ML-1710 laser printer, at least, it's not working in DSL + cups.dsl.
The logs make it look like it's working, but there's no printer output.
After some searching, I think (not sure, but think) that the problem is that the cups.dsl extension doesn't include "pstoraster" (part of Debian's gs-esp package) in /usr/lib/cups/filter, or its config file in /etc/cups.
Anyone have any luck getting external foomatic drivers to work in DSL?
