[SOLVED] Printer issues - Samsung on Linux 18.04

I am assuming this tells me I have the package?
nan@nan-thinkcentre-m90z:~$ sudo apt-get install cups-filters-core-drivers
[sudo] password for nan:

cups-filters-core-drivers is already the newest version (1.20.2-0ubuntu3.1).

What can I look at next?

I'm confused here. When you did

Code:

 ls -l /usr/lib/cups/filter

that revealed missing some missing filters, and this is reported in the CUPS error_log as per post #21

Please show the output of

Code:

dpkg-query -L cups-filters-core-drivers

I installed cups-filters.
I still cannot print from libre office -- cannot start your printer
Also now I can get to localhost:610 but everything on the menu gives not found
this is since adding cups-filters
reinstalled cups and that got fixed
after taking care of missing rastertospl I am printing!

Thank you for all the help. This was a long and winding road.

Glad to read of you success here. Something was wrong with your cups environment, but reinstalling cups has fixed it which is a good result. Now back away slowly.
