I see that you access the printer through the URI lpd://localhost
meaning that an LPD server (port 515) must be on your local machine. Are you running some daemon on your machine to access the printer via a proprietary communication protocol? Some software you got somehow from Samsung (download or a CD supplied with the printer)? You should try two possibilities: 1. If you use software from Samsung, use it completely, not use only the communication daemon (if there is one) but also the PPD files supplied by Samsung. 2. If you want to use the software supplied with Ubuntu Linux, run system-config-printer (printer tool reachable from the System Settings) and click "Add printer" at the top. Then a dialog appears in which available printers are detected, first the local (USB, parallel, ...) ones and after around 10 or 15 seconds the network printers (note that your printer must be connected and turned on during this process). Select your printer and then proceed through the wizard. Please check andf try, especially (2). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1584367 Title: Samsung printer automatically diabled; cannot print Status in cups package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Samsung ML-1660 laser printer is found and installed, but cannot print as it is automatically disabled.
