How well do samsung printer drivers work in/integrate into debian?
i consider buying a samsung clp-510n, the driver is here:
http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/downloadfile/ContentsFile.aspx?CDSite=US&CttFileID=264040&CDCttType=DR&ModelType=C&ModelName=CLP-510N%2fXAA&VPath=DR%2f200503%2f20050322102424156_lpp-1.1.4-19-i386.tar.gz
It has some installation scripts. How badly do they mess with my system?
How do i interface that with cups?
How happy are people with samsung linux drivers on debian?
(please cc: me as i am not on debian-users)
I have had a ML-1450 Laser for some time. Originally, I used the
non-Free driver/software from the Samsung website (the CD was out of
date with rudimentary driver for Red Hat). The driver and software
worked fine (this was in Woody or, possibly, Potato). However, I have
not used the Samsung software for some time because CUPS and the
foomatic-filters-ppds package do the job very simply without the need
for any of Samsung's own offerings. I recommend CUPS and the web
interface - easy and reliable.
I cannot see a ppd for your model in my version of CUPS (Sid), but there
are instructions for using Samsung's own ppd directly in CUPS at
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Samsung-CLP-500
Samsung deserve congratulations for supporting Linux.
Hth,
