@Johann, thank you for that pointer. I had tried the official Samsung driver earlier which has the world's worst installer and on printed to half the page width.
Using the latest driver from bchemnet I found the following: * Using the Samsung Configurator meant no print jobs came out and I was constantly told about non-existent paper jams * Using system-config-printer with DNS-SD/LPD printed and also claimed paper jams via notification popups * Using system-config-printer with Jetdirect printed and there were no popups but the printer icon and successfully completed job icons all have explanation marks saying there were paper jams * I did some test prints including the multi-coloured text which doesn't come out with Samsung's PCL and was murky with Samsung's Windows SPL-C driver That leads to the following conclusions: * Samsung's printers do not do PCL emulation correctly * There are several open source SPL-C drivers but none of them work correctly * Samsung's current binary SPL-C driver does generate correct output * Samsung's engineers should be ashamed at the packaging and components of their driver * The bchemnet repackaging undoes most of the Samsung packaging and security issues * Use as little Samsung code as possible (eg only use the Configurator to access scanner functionality - not present in my printer) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/898986 Title: Printing does not work on Samsung CLP-610ND To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/foo2zjs/+bug/898986/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
