Ken, instructions for upgrading Linux Mint 17.3 to Linux Mint 18 - if
that's what you're after - are found here :
https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/2316. They worked very well
for me....
For the time being, I'm going to stay with 17.3 until I understand it
better. But I created a LiveCD for 18, and may install it on an old laptop
I have here in the future.
For the moment, I'm just trying to solve this issue of printing from LO
Calc on my Samsung laser.

Hullo Ken !
There's a lot of wisdom in the old aphorism to the effect that if it ain't
broke, don't fix it, and Mint 17.3 works very well - even if I myself find
Mint 18 just a little bit better.
I scrounged an old 2005 Dell Inspiron and installed 18 with the XFCE
desktop today. I like that interface if I'm the one using it. But for
beginners, I still think the Cinnamon desktop might be easier to grasp
for newbies to computers.
In any event, someone on the Linux Mint
Forum for printers and scanners (
https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewforum.php?f=51) might be able to suggest
solutions for the specific problems you're having printing from LO Calc on
your Samsung laser printer - perhaps worth a try ?...
Well, 5.1.5 didn't solve the problem. But I almost never use a
spreadsheet, so I'm not going to worry about it for now.
With regard to easily keeping your installation of LO updated on Mint, you
might want to consider installing the PPA (
https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa). I can confirm that
it works like a charm, and you don't have to download and install the .deb
files yourself !...
