/usr/libexec/cups/filter/rastertoqpdl failed when printing to Samsung

Hi,

I installed Lion yesterday on my iMac and MacBook and since then can no longer print.

Printer: Samsung SCX-4x16 series.

Error message when printing: /usr/libexec/cups/filter/rastertoqpdl failed

Going to System preferences and deleting the printer and redefining it brought no joy. I've tried to use it both as a network printer (connected to a Time capsule) and as a direct USB connection (both modes worked fine with Snow Leopard).

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7), MacBook

Never mind, just found the system log (unix skills are awfully rusty).

Jul 23 15:59:24 Macintosh-3 Samsung_SCX_4x16_Series[2507]: Launch of "Samsung_SCX_4x16_Series" failed: the PowerPC architecture is no longer supported.

Good thing I've still got an old XP partition I guess. Sigh.....

I am using Lion OS X.

I just downloaded Splix as recommended by for my Samsung SCX-4100. I chose the option to Print Using > "Select Printer Software" and then chose "Samsung SCX 4200 Splix V 2.0.0".

Although the printer queue said "SpliX Cannot get input slot information.", my documents printed without any problem.
