Samsung SCX4216F Multifunction Printer


Help!!!!

Due to persistent virus attacks we've taken the plunge and switched to Linux. So far so good except our multifunction printer does not work. I'm using USB.

I managed to find the Linspire Control Centre and went to Peripheral devices then printers and add printer. It detects the printer as a SCX4X16 series but when you go to the next step it does not have the SCX model numbers.

I tried clicking "other" then loading the CD which has the Samsung Driver on it (not sure if it would work with Linux anyway but worth a try) but it just says "wrong driver format".

Thanks in advance

Problem can be solved by going to Samsung website and downloading the Linux Driver which seems to work fine with Linspire.
