Samsung CLX 3170 FN -printer ;doesnt' work

Dear all,

Hello,

The situation:At my workplace there is a shared printer installed in WINDOWS.
It’s installed also in my windows system(WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE version 7600).
It’s working very well.

From windows I shared it to have the option for printing from openSuSE 11.3.

In Samba I can see the other colleagues connected to the same workplace network.
I shared also the printer with Samba.I can see it.

The problem :The printer doesn’t work.I can’t find a opensuSE11.3 driver for it (Samsung CLX 3170 FN).

The question 1:Is it really need a properly driver for it if it installed in windows?
The question 2:How can I make printing from openSuSE11.3 with the shared installed in windows server printer?
Steps done:in MS Win system I shared ,I noted the WORKGROUP,the PC name and the IP for the printer.

//ALso I know the domain and my IP.well done in resolv.conf,in fact I have internet connection from openSuSE 11.3,no problem,e-mail/evolution and kmail are working very well,configured both for the workplace).//
Now in openSuSE what should I do?
I need some advices/right steps) about configuring this printer USING few ways(Samba,Printer config from YAST etc) because I am thinking somehow I did something wrong.
When I make print test page the printer make the noise is preparing but nothing is happening.
I believe that maybe the driver missing is the problem.
BUT ONCE AGAIN,it’s installed in my PC in Windows system,/I have dual boot system/GRUB MANAGER/openSuSE and Windows 7 Ultimate 7 7600.

Can I work with the printer via internet/network //Samba/CUPS/etc,etc with localhost /IP,or other way if I DON’T have a driver for openSuSE ,Can I access it ?Using one way ,that you know?

WHAT I MUST DO?
{My laptop is ASUS Intel processor dual 2*2.8 Gb,hard =320Gb RAM=4Gb,NVIDIA graphic card.}

I read some sites about what it must doone for this case ,but in my case it doesn’t work.
Where am I wrong?

I need a guide from you coreleted with my situation.I repeat:network windows printer shared also by me with my win system.

Now what I want is to print from openSuSE.In this case I don’t need to RESTART the PC JUST FOR PRINTING from win where the printing is working.
I request the help but the win admin at my workplace he doesn’t know how to do.I read the manual,also this doesn/t help,it’s done for this omnipresent f… windows platform.

Thank you to all.

I am sure you know how to do.Unfortunately,it’s clear I don’t know,that’s why I need you help and I write these here .

Manny thanks for your time and help.

Internet connection and printer/fax install the biggest problems in any OS .
I hope I get help.
cheers

oh yaaaa

I have installed.everything ok except the printing.I have the icon of the printer on the opensuse desktop etc.

I will see

it’s not working evan is well install.

from root test page ok but nothing go out from printer
as regular user the printer requests to be started first,and this can be done only as root.

configuring problem I am sure but also other pr.

uf,…
I followed the manual for the printer wirhout big effect.

everything ok but not ok,the page is not printed practically.
I used samsung 3170 fn unified linux driver ,perfect install but I must get help from somewhere.I will read more ,maybe finally I find a hint ,a clue.

see you

HELLO!

I used YAST/CUPS (also from Ms Win it;s shared),TEST PRINT PAGE OK in opensuse ,this is the message from system ,also the print make a wav /sound,but nothing it’s happening.

I think it’s a filter ,really this make me sad.

I don’t know what to do.
I read in var/cups message ,it said it can’t access a IP server/port,but this port I tested before and it was ok.I am really confused.

I try more.

Using Samba I give up.

I repeat the situation,It 's a Samsung printer Samsung 3170 FN it’s installed on a MsWin server ,and it’s shared/network printer between my work colleagues.
Also the driver mswin it’s installed on my mswin system/windows 7 Ultimate.the driver it’s installed also in my OpenSuSE 11.3.
So I want to print a file from opensuse/from mswin it’s working.In this case at my workplace I can forget using mswin completely.I used only for printing the ms win.

So what should I do?
Maybe it’s a trick/tips I don’t know.
I need your HELP!

Thank you to all in advance.

i find something:a message/error:“cups-insecure-filter”.

how can I solved this?

FINALLY I SOLVED by connecting to other newtwork printer from my office.This is working well.
I give up about samsung.

all the best for all.
