Hi all,
Just bought the Samsung ML-2165W/XAC printer because it advertised Linux
support. Downloaded and installed the driver (it claims installation
successful).
The user manual seems to be flat out wrong. The Linux install
directions seem to be for Windows.
"--------------------
When the Administrator Login window appears, type "root" in the Login
field and enter the system password.
You must log in as a super user (root) to install the machine software.
If you are not a super user, ask your system administrator.
From the Samsung website, download the Unified Linux Driver package to
your computer.
Right-click the Unified Linux Driver package and extract the package.
Double click cdroot > autorun.
"--------------------
Note: there is no such named package and their is neither a file named
"cdroot" nor one named "autorun".
At any rate, when I attempt to print a page the printer's activity light
flashes for a long time then stops. CUPS reports "completed".
This occurs regardless of whether there is paper loaded or not.
Cups isn't being very helpful here either. Almost anything
administrator related tells me "Forbidden", but nowhere can I find a way
to "Login" to it.
Part of me says the driver doesn't work and part of me says the printer
is DOA.
Has anybody else had any success with this particular printer model?
Thanks for any help or tips,
Mike Wright
