The CUPS job page after I did a test print kept refreshing showing the
job in processing (and never finished processing) with an message about
the CMS being missing and giving the path it was looking for. After I
installed the CMS files and did another job I did manage to get
something to print once.
I think the printer was having issues (Windows drivers crashed), but the
drivers are also an issue. In any event I can't do without printing so
I got the successor model the CLP-620ND. The only driver offered was
foo2qpdl. It only worked if configured in monochrome. In colour mode
the printer makes some noise and then stops with nothing coming out. If
I used splix for the 610 then printer spat out an error page about SPL-C
error. If I used the official driver downloaded from Samsung then it
printed fine except the content was shrunk horizontally onto the left
half of each page.
The only driver that has worked reliably is the pxlcolor for the CLP-
660ND although I get a notification on every job that the printer has a
paper jam (it doesn't). Before my recent Ubuntu clean install to
Oneiric I was using pxlcolor for the CLP-610 and a PPD and that had
always worked fine but was no longer present in Oneiric.
Anyway I am closing this ticket not because it is fixed, but because
anyone trying to use these printers with Ubuntu is screwed and no one is
going to fix that.
