Hello and welcome to the openSUSE forums.

As people here can not look over your shoulder, please be more descriptive about what you are doing. You try to install exactly what, you got it from where and what commands do you use and what output exctly do you get?

Remember that copy/paste of computer terminal output is the most exact way to show what is happening without much extra explaining needed.

There is an important, but not easy to find feature on the forums.

Please use CODE tags around copied/pasted computer text in a post. It is the # button in the tool bar of the post editor. When applicable copy/paste complete, that is including the prompt, the command, the output and the next prompt.

An example is here: Using CODE tags Around your paste.

Regards,

I’ve used Samsung printers for quite a while now, all with the ULD drivers, but…

I don’t install the package, instead I do a manual “minimal” install of what is needed.

First off, from the ULD*.tar.gz package extract the following files to:

rastertospl - to “/usr/lib/cups/filter”
libscmssc.so - to “/usr/lib64”

and the relevant *.ppd file for your printer, Samsung’s naming convention makes it quite easy to identify the one needed. to “/usr/share/cups/model/manufacturer-PPDs/samsung”

Not let me down yet… :slight_smile:
