One might want to check this page https://www.samsungdrivers.net/samsung-ml-2160-driver/ if a driver is needed.

hi

HP does have a driver but its dated 2017.
https://support.hp.com/au-en/drivers...eries/17156959

You might be better off with this driver....this is from debian based search

Code:
apt search splix
printer-driver-splix/stable 2.0.0+svn315-7 amd64
  Driver for Samsung and Xerox SPL2 and SPLc laser printers
It might help if you mention the name of your distro and its release number
and do you already have cups installed please?
