I installed the samsung clp-320 printer (network) on my suse in my laptop with 12.1 using samsung linux unified drivers, it works perfectly, I installed the very same printer with the very same driver in my desktop with 12.1, the installation went well but the printing result is wrong, the page that should be printed is printed littler and in the same page is present double.
how can I obtain the same behaviour from the two computers??
thanks and merry christmas :-))
> but the printing result is wrong
sounds like a driver problem…that is, it is working good on your
openSUSE running laptop, but not working correctly on your desktop…
if it were an openSUSE problem we would expect it to be broken on every
computer loaded with openSUSE!
well, i guess it could still be a user setup problem!! (set up correctly
on one machine and not the other) so, i suggest you go though the set up
on the desktop and see if it correct…if it is correct, log a bug with
samsung.
note: you can compare the setup on the desktop to the working one on the
laptop…
happy holidays to you too…

yes but the same could be said for the driver that is the same and should works well on both, may be opensuse has differently settings if installed on a laptop or a desktop??
I checked printer setup, are the same, I installed on another netbook and it works ok, I uninstalled and reinstalled again on my desktop and it works bad, the page is printed twice on the sheet, I installed a foomatic driver and it print well, except for some differences in the colors.
happy new year:-))

It should, but it doesn’t, AFAIK. Things like power management, not printer
drivers.

Assuming the Samsung driver installs itself in CUPS, you can go into CUPS (“Manage printing” in the KDE menu), select the printer, and compare the settings on your laptop and desktop: click on your printer’s name and choose “Administration” to bring up default options etc. Also, as the printer works on the laptop as a network printer, and assuming that the desktop is on the same network, why not simply share the printer? Or are you installing the printer with a different hardware connection on the desktop (i.e. USB)?
I think yes
I made it, compared ALL the printer options, reverted on default options, but printing is wrong on desktop and good on laptops
only becouse the laptop isn’t always connected and the desktop yes 
not, the SAME printer is connected in the SAME network with RJ45-network connection.
Is there something that I can copy from the working one to the not-working to have a “equal-situation”?
Just some guesses on my part…
Usually /etc/papersize is not used with KDE apps, but might be worth checking and comparing anyway. Maybe the unified driver uses it…?
Do you have a ~/.cups/lpoptions file present on both machines? Maybe you have one configured with particular user preferences perhaps?
many thanks Deano :-))
on working laptop /etc/papersize is not present
on not-working desktop there is a 3Bite papersize.rpmnew file, the content was “a4”, I removed it (to have the same situation), rebooted, reprinted, result=wrong print
on working laptop ~/.cups/lpoptions exist and its content is:
"Dest lexmark_iner Duplex=DuplexNoTumble
Default Stylus-C62
"
I don’t know what is this file for but the two are two printers I installed time ago in the laptop, but there isn’t the samsung clp-320n that I installed and works well here
on not-working desktop ~/.cups/lpoptions exist but is empty.
Thanks aain and have a happy new year:-))
Review this guide.
The lpoptions command can be used to check printing preferences (defined in various places described in the guide)
lpoptions -p "queue" -l
For example, I have a HL-2150N printer (that I connect to at work)
lpoptions -p "HL-2150N" -l
PageSize/Media Size: *Letter Legal Executive A4 A5 A6 Env10 EnvMonarch EnvDL EnvC5 EnvISOB5 EnvISOB6
BrMediaType/BrMediaType: *PLAIN THIN THICK THICKERPAPER2 BOND TRANSPARENCIES ENV ENVTHICK ENVTHIN
InputSlot/InputSlot: MANUAL *TRAY1
Resolution/Resolution: 300dpi *600dpi 1200x600dpi
TonerSaveMode/Toner Save: *Off On
Sleep/Sleep Time [Min.]: *PrinterDefault 2minutes 10minutes 30minutes
Maybe you could compare the output between the two machines.
It might also be worth checking the equivalent ppd files in /etc/cups/ppd/ of each machine to see if there are any differences. Copy the one in the working machine to the other machine if you’re in doubt. Any difference?
The main thing that comes to mind is the .PPD file. There may be other configuration files.
I’m running a CLP-320N using the “Foomatic Generic PCL 6/PCL XL Printer Foomatic/hpijs-pcl5c (color, 2-sided printing)” (with the 2-sided printing switched off; the printer doesn’t support it). Seems to work fine.
This is an alternative if you can’t get the Samsung drivers to work for you.
I tried, but it doesn’t works, it prints this:
Assertion failed: m_ulSeedRowLen<=ul_req_size, file d:\CC_PCL%CE\src\5.98\image\img_decompr.c
and the sheet ends…
are you on 12.1??
I will try to reboot later, may be…
the driver is this:
Generic PCL 6/PCL XL Printer Foomatic/hpijs-pcl5c
the closest to your:-)

Any assertion is a reportable bug on Bugzilla. If it is an outside package,
report to their devs.
