Samsung CLP-600N Printer?

johnkelly.110 · 06-10-2011, 07:57 AM

Since upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04 - my Samsung CLP-600N printer does not work as it should. I can print demo pages from the printer. However, I cannot print from my pc - the best I can get is a monochrome page but NOT colour. I've tried deleting the printer and Adding it again through Admin./Printing/Add but the same problem occurs. Perhaps a new driver or some sort of fix? Please help (preferably without the "terminal" codes (i am unfamiliar with command lines). Please help a newbie?

This appears to be a windbloze printer. Samsung does supply a driver.

Openprinting.org doesn't list the CLP-600N as supported. It does list CLP-600. The driver for the 600 may work, you can try it. See this link -->http://www.openprinting.org/printer/...amsung-CLP-600

Do you have cups installed? If not sure, open a web browser, and enter in the location bar http://localhost:631 and see if you get the Cups home page. The is the best way to install a printer. If it is there, see what driver it is currently using.

The driver listed on Openprinting.org list the driver has these comments...

This is a cheap network color laser printer with a proprietary language. Samsung provides a closed-source driver on their web site, the "Unified Linux Driver", a driver package containing CUPS drivers and PPDs for all Samsung printers.

You can download the "Unified Linux Driver" here -->http://www.printerland.me.uk/samsung...s/drivers.html

I would suspect this is your best bet to get it working the way you want.

THANKS

I downloaded Samsung's Unified Linux Driver and although it has few options/preferences it works just fine. Thanks. John
