Hello,
I’ve purchased a CLP-325 color laser printer since I was quite fond of my old Samsung ML-2010 (mono laser printer), that one worked out of the box. Plugged it in, ran Yast > Printers, added it … an done.
This CLP-325 is turning out to be a bit more trouble, I did the same Yast > Printers > Add action, installed it with the 320 series drivers. Tried to print a testpage… didn’t work.
So then I installed the Samsung Universal Driver from their own site, installation ran fine, printer is recognized and everything. Try to print:
clp320-91 root 15360 Sat Dec 11 16:01:42 2010
printer clp320 is idle. enabled since Sat Dec 11 16:01:43 2010
/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertosamsungsplc failed
So then I read on the ubuntu forums this can be caused by the file not actually being there, it’s in the same download as the installer itself, so I tried to copy it over… go the message the file was already there. So that’s not the problem.
Checked /var/log/cups/error_log and it has the following content (cleared it out before doing anything so only relevant info would be logged)
