Problem installing printer drivers


Hi All.

I am having problems installing printer drivers on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (AMD 64bit).

The following are the steps which I have taken.

1) On the following page, I click the 'Drivers' link on the left side of the page, then the driver (Linux V1.00.06 Print Driver 6 Aug, 2013 MULTI LANGUAGE 15.35 MB) and save it to a folder on the Desktop, called 'PrinterDriverNew'.

http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mo.../XEU-downloads

2) I extract the contents of the ULD_Linux_V1.00.06.tar.gz file into the same 'PrinterDriverNew' folder and end up with an extracted folder called 'uld'.

3) I enter the following in the Terminal and press Enter.

cd /home/me/Desktop/PrinterDriverNew/uld

4) I get the following.

me@pc:~/Desktop/PrinterDriverNew/uld$

Is it correct that I now need to find a file called 'install' before using './configure', 'make' and 'sudo make install'? If this is the case, I am having trouble locating the right file. I have tried typing 'ls' beforehand, but there are several subfolders, etc. so I'm not sure if I need to type 'ls' for each folder.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You don't have to compile anything. Download the user manual and it tells you how to install the driver.

Hi DavidMcCann.

Thanks for your reply.

The reason I am trying to install these drivers is that my printer is printing slanted and when I contacted Samsung, they instructed me to update the drivers first. When I had bought the printer, I installed the drivers fine from the instructions provided in the manual, however, those instructions do not correspond with the files contained in the new drivers, for example, I could not find any 'autorun' file.

Thanks.

Oh dear! I hope mine keeps behaving properly. I've just had a quick look around and found this site, which may help:

Thanks for the link, DavidMcCann.

Is there any way I can install the drivers from the link I provided? I need to follow the instructions received from Samsung before they can offer to fix my printer or replace it.

Thanks.
