Extract the driver in a directory, for example in your home  . Use file-roller, or command line, to extract the driver in a directory, for example in your home.

Press "4" because you want to install the "[4] SCX 4100 Series" driver I went through the simple GUI but it did not autodetect the printer when it got to 95% complete. Solution is to ignore this bit, then use the Ubuntu printer administration to add the new printer instead. The Samsung drivers now appear in the list of available printer drivers.
Line 27: Line 30:
Press "1" since you want to "[1] Install driver package". Beware, this script does horrible things like replacing kernel modules. Please write to Samsung asking a) for release of source code, or b) provision of a deb format driver.
Line 29: Line 32:
You should already have CUPS installed so Press "2":

[2] I am sure I have necessary software installed. Continue installation

You'll get a whole spew of stuff printed on the screen along with some errors that you can probably just ignore.


Restart cups:

{{{
sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
}}}

{{{
sudo adduser cupsys shadow
sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
}}}

From now on you can login with your user name and password.

Howto Install the Samsung SCX-4100 printer driver

This printer works fine with CUPS, but requires installation from the Samsung website.

http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Samsung-SCX_4100

Do the following to make sure you have all the necessary programmes for scanning and running this driver:

sudo apt-get install libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 libsane-dev sane sane-utils libqt3-mt

Download the driver

http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/downloadfile/ContentsFile.aspx?CDSite=us&CttFileID=2048258&CDCttType=DR&ModelType=N&ModelName=SCX-4100&VPath=DR/200810/20081030150510531/UnifiedLinuxDriver.tar.gz

Use file-roller, or command line, to extract the driver in a directory, for example in your home.

tar -xzf 20060719092647968_UnifiedLinuxDriver.tar.gz 

Start the driver installation script:

sudo ./cdroot/Linux/install.sh

I went through the simple GUI but it did not autodetect the printer when it got to 95% complete. Solution is to ignore this bit, then use the Ubuntu printer administration to add the new printer instead. The Samsung drivers now appear in the list of available printer drivers.

Beware, this script does horrible things like replacing kernel modules. Please write to Samsung asking a) for release of source code, or b) provision of a deb format driver.
