LinuxQuestions.org HCL - ML-1610

Works fine with the CUPS printer system. Samsung has proprietary drivers that I chose not to use. Please note that you need to tell CUPS this is a Samsung ML-1710 and it detects and works perfectly.

I wanted to make sure that this was noted on here because it's a terrific deal on the printer.

Maybe someone else could review it who has installed the samsung drivers.

I installed the proprietary drivers and they work A-OK.
Had to copy them to /opt first , though ; I couldn't run the setup.sh directly from the CD-Rom.
Note : The driver needs at least some printing-package , based on LPD.
It prefers CUPS , though.

The printer itself gives quite a bit bang for the buck : I got it for 69.95 Euro.( about $88.-)

On the downside : the bugger is far noisier than my previous HPLaserjet6L.
This printer is not one , you want working while you try to catch a nap....

A very honest product.
I realized that the initial toner drum is lasting a lot longer than the so-called 1000-pages specified in the documentation. At least for the usage I make of it.

Had a ton of trouble getting it to work. BUt maybe it's just me on an LFS machine. Tried the proprietary drivers, splix. Nothing works. :(

Update:
Gotten it to work. Using ghostscript with the splix filters. Was a
ghostscript problem earlier. Word of advice for other LFS or self-
compiled users: Make sure you install ghostscript fonts. They are a
separate download from the ghostscript source tarball.
