[snip] > The printer is a brand-new Samsung SCX-4100 laser-based multifunction Since this was the only message I found about Samsung SCX-4100 and I happen to figure out how to make mine work I've decided to pay Usenet back and post my solution in hope it will help future SCX owners. My system: Debian 3.1 Sarge, kernel 2.4.26-1-386, kde 3.1.2, cupsys 1.1.20final+rc. The CD that came with the printer didn't have a Linux driver so I downloaded it from the Samsung site. Unfortunately, can't give the URL to the driver - it won't work, you have to browse through the site. Start here: http://www.samsung.com/download/index.aspx The file name I downloaded is 20041109110759968_DriversPack-1[1].0.151-wowhit.tar.gz Since my distro is not rpm based the install programm cursed a few times. It also screwed up a few things: - it added the following line to /etc/modules: options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7 dma=3 which made lp0 stop working and put these messages to syslog every time parport module was (re)loaded: kernel: parport 0x378 (WARNING): CTR: wrote 0x0c, read 0xff kernel: parport 0x378 (WARNING): DATA: wrote 0xaa, read 0xff kernel: parport 0x378: You gave this address,but there is probably no parallel port there! - it made /usr/bin/lpr a symbolic link to Samsung's lpr utility - /usr/bin/slpr. To fix: ======= 1) Some SCX's libs require /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3, it's a part of libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 package, install it: apt-get install libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 2) Rebuild /etc/modules.conf to make lp0 work again: /usr/sbin/update-modules reload parport module or restart your system. 3) Firefox uses lpr and for some reason Samsung's replacement didn't work for me. It gave me an idea though - link lpr to kprinter: ln -sf /usr/bin/kprinter /usr/bin/lpr and you will get full scale control over how your web pages are printed out. Or you can restore the original lpr: mv /usr/bin/lpr.orig /usr/bin/lpr After these, everything works. From command line, Opera, Firefox, Kate, OpenOffice.
