I have a panasonic KX-FLB883 similat to this one on the panasonic website and i am trying to install it on ubuntu.

The computer detects it but it asks me for a driver or ppd file and i cant seem to find any of them.

Have anybody managed to install a similar printer on ubuntu ?

It looks like printers from that family have not been included in the foomatic DB yet. BTW: your precise model is neither in the list of known devices, so you might wish to contribute by adding it yourself.

I did not do too much digging for your problem, but chances are in the meanwhile you could achieve partial (sometimes almost complete) functionality by forcing the use of a driver for a similar printer. See for example this list.

HTH!
