I too a having issues getting this printer to print well in colour. I once did manage to get it to print really nicely in colour soon after I bought the printer in 2011, by following a How-To I found online, which I can't subsequently now find.
It's really frustrating to know that this printer can be made to work well on Linux, but not being able to find the way to persuade it to do so. Tried installing Ghostscript 8.71, but had a similar experience to the previous commentator. This issue has been around for several years now, and seemingly though there is a solution, it's not well known. How I wish I'd kept the URL to the how-to I found all that time ago somewhere safe... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to foo2zjs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378068 Title: Unsatisfactory Quality on Samsung CLP-315 Color Laser Printer (foomatic) Status in foo2zjs package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Component: Samsung CLP-315 Color Laser Printer Driver: Samsung CLP-315 Foomatic/foo2qpdl (recommended) OS: Clean Ubuntu 9.04 Installation with current updates System Environment: http://www.sysprofile.de/id42117 After connecting the printer the drivers were installer properly. I can print from all applications but the resulting print-out never is satisfying. Images are way too dark and patchy and characters are a bit blurry. Fortunately, the results are fine when using Samsung's original drivers. Hoping for this to be fixed in Karmic. ;-) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/foo2zjs/+bug/378068/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
