Don't want any more Samsung printers they don't care about Linux
support.
Hey, don't be so quick to diss on Samsung. They were among the first
manufacturers to support Linux, even if they don't do it open source.
I've got a Samsung ML-1740 that has worked flawlessly with multiple
flavors of Linux, including several Fedora releases. About the only
problem I've ever had with it is a cups filter that was installed with
incorrect ownership permissions. I'm not sure that was Samsung's
fault.
I would also recommend that you get and HP printer. They don't
support Linux at all, but they do support the HPLip project and they
also produce good quality prints.
The thing that is blowing my mind and I just don't understand, Why is
this 2009 Samsung driver working on a Asus Mini Laptop w/Fedora 18 and
not a Acer and HP PC towers.
There has got to be something very Simple going on.
Check the cups filter chain for correct ownership and permissions. Set
it up in debug mode and look for clues as to what's hanging it up. I
fought with it for quite a while on one distribution, I don't remember
which one, that had a problem with the filter chain. The issue may
have been caused by the distribution, not the Samsung driver. YMMV
How would I run this test, nothing is popping up saying denied
permissions .
and everything is setup in su -
one might go to whatever menu item on your system, maybe
system/admin/printing, or something to that effect depending on what
desktop you are using. Select the problem printer, try to send a test
print to it. When said test print fails to appear then look for a
button or check box that says something like, "Did the test print
work?". Say no it didn't and then look for a place to enable debut mode.
It's very unlikely that I have the same desktop DE that you have so I
can not be any more specific as the the steps required.
Also check the cups logs for clues.
