Good morning Till, my bad! I totally forgot to mention that although the lsusb command sees my USB printer as "Bus 002 Device 010: ID 04e8:3297 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd ML-191x/ML-252x Laser Printer" the printer config tool won't detect it.
Out of about thirty shots my printer got recognized / installed two times by plug-and-play but the result was the same as avbove: No printing, the printer got deactivated within seconds. I got so frustrated after spending a few hours of fiddling around and googling I tried a shot in the dark by using the lpd option -- and went on to print my airline tickets on a Windows machine ;) About using Samsung software: Some time in the process I downloaded the Samsung Unified Linux Driver (ULD) and installed it following their docs hoping that might fix it but it didn't... So: No USB Samsung printer detection and if the printer gets detected no printing -- this is valid for both scenarios (with or without the Samsung ULD). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded 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.
