Network Printer can't be installed

Hi,
I’ve installed opensuse 12.2 with KDE4.9 Update. My printer Samsung ML-2250 is connected via USB to my WLAN Router Asus RT-N56U.
With the yast printer wizards I’m not able to find the printer. Any ideas ?

Thanks

I don’t own a Samsung printer, but I suspect you may need to install the required driver first:

SDB:Installing a samsung printer - openSUSE

Download Center: Download Software, Firmware, Drivers & Manuals | Samsung

Solved. The Solution was to add the printer in cups

localhost:631

via ipp with the connection param

socket://192.168.1.1:9100

and using the cups driver. Works fine. Thx

Thanks for the update. This may be helpful to others with similar hardware. FWIW, I prefer configuring via the CUPS web interface over the YaST utility. I’m glad the gutenprint driver works for you. :slight_smile:

Sorry but this was too fast. After the cups configuration it works at first. But now I get multiple different problems.
I’ve tried several setups and drivers and always end with strange effects (1 job ok, next job: ‘broken pipe’, or printing just the first two lines of a page in an endless loop and other strange effects)
Most of them connected with a ‘broken pipe’ message in var/log/cups/error_log:

Any ideas how to fix this ?

I coudn’t get my printer (Epson WorkForce 435) recognized by yast neither. I used the command line to configure it. Here is the command I used:

sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p Epson -E -v socket://10.0.1.10 -P /usr/share/cups/model/manufacturer-PPDs/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr/Epson-WorkForce_435-en.ppd

Hope it help

For network printers, I think it is better to manually configure via the CUPS interface, especially for network printers. If you’re comfortable with the CLI, that’s okay too. I think that the OP’s issue is not related to configuration though. They reported it was working, so something else at play.
