installing Samsung ML-2160 printer

English Hardware
1

I’m not sure if this is a hardware or software problem. I downloaded Samsung’s Universal Printer Driver. It installed perfectly well on my laptop. But I’m, having a heck of a job trying to install it on my desktop.

Getting straight down to the nuts and bolts of the problem…

From the ULD folder Using Konsole I’m typing


sudo: install-printer.sh: command not found
stu@ZyXEL2:~/Downloads/uld>
or
sudo ./install-printer.sh
sudo: ./install-printer.sh: command not found
stu@ZyXEL2:~/Downloads/uld>

From the ULD folder Terminal Super User


install-printer.sh                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
If 'install-printer.sh' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:                                                                                                                                                         
    cnf install-printer.sh

This looks to me like a pathing problem, which I don’t know how to fix?

I’ve checked that CUPS and SANE are both installed.

Any help appreciated.

Supposing .sh are bash scripts, they should be made executable, but the execute bit is not set. For example, install.sh should list as:

-rw-r--r-**x**  1 stu  users     848 Dec 13  2014 install.sh

Don’t remember how to do it from the cmdline, I usually use KDE permissions dialogue.

Sorry, this only gives execute permission to others, I don’t know if it works (it probably does). All shell scripts I have here have all three execute permission bits set, as below:

-rw**x**r-**x**r-**x**  1 stu  users     848 Dec 13  2014 install.sh

chmod +x install.sh
