How To Install Samsung Ml 2010 Printer

I had to make one old Samsung ML-2010P Laser Printer piece of work on Xubuntu Linux . I've had some issues in installing information technology, I couldn't fine any footstep by step tutorial online, on how the printer can be fabricated piece of work fine on Linux. Therefore I took the fourth dimension to experiment and see if I could make information technology work. Since the printer is old, not much people are interested any more in making the printer operational on Linux, hence I couldn't find too much relevant posts and sites on the cyberspace, anyways thank you God later a bit of pondering I finally succeeded to brand the Samsung ML-2010P printer to print on Linux.This are the verbal steps one has to follow to make this old agglomeration of hardware to play nice on Linux:

i. use lsusb to list the printer model

root@linux:~# lsusb |grep -i samsung Coach 001 Device 003: ID 04e8:326c Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd ML-2010P Mono Laser Printer

You run across the printer reports as Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd ML-2010P Mono Laser Printer

2. Install cups printing service required packages

root@linux:~# apt-become install cups cups-bsd cups-client cups-common root@linux:~# apt-go install cups-driver-gutenprint ghostscript-cups root@linux:~# apt-become install python-cups python-cupshelpers

iii. Install foomatic packages

root@linux:~# apt-get install foomatic-db foomatic-db-engine foomatic-db-gutenprint root@linux:~# apt-get install foomatic-filters python-foomatic

iv. Install hpijs hplip printconfand other packages necesssery for proper printer operation

root@linux:~# apt-get install hpijs hplip hplip-data ijsgutenprint root@linux:~# apt-get install min12xxw openprinting-pdds printconf foo2zjs

P.South. Some of the packages I listing might already accept been installed as a dependency to another package, as I'm writting this commodity few days afterwards I've succeeded installing the printer, I don't remember the exact install order.

5. Install splix (SPL Driver for Unix)

Here is a quote taken from Spix's projection website:

"SpliX is a set up of CUPS printer drivers for SPL (Samsung Printer Language) printers.
If you take a such printer, you need to download and use SpliX. Moreover yous will notice documentation about this proprietary language.
"

root@linux:~# apt-go install splix

For more information on splix, check on Splix SPL driver for UNIX website http://splix.ap2c.org/

You lot can bank check on the projects website the Samsung ML 2022 Printer is marked as Working
Next step is to configure the Printer

half-dozen. Go to Cups interface on localhost in browser and Add the Samsung printer.

Use Firefox, SeaMonkey or any browser of choice to configure CUPS:

Type in the browser:

http://localhost:631

Next a password prompt will announced asking for a user/laissez passer. The user/pass y'all have to apply is the aforementioned as the password of the user business relationship you're logged on with.

UNIX Linux Administration CUPS Printer adding Samsung ML 2022 ML-2010P Xubuntu

Click on the Add together Printer button and choose to add together the Samsung ML-2010.

And so restart the CUP Service (cupsd) to arrive load the new settings:

root@linux:~# /etc/init.d/cups restart

At present requite the printer a try in printing some folio in SeaMonkey, Chrome or Firefox (the quickest way is through pressing CTRL + P )

Following this steps, I've managed to run the printer on Xubuntu Linux, though the same steps if followed should most probably brand the Samsnung ML 2022 play squeamish with other Linux distributions with a trivial or no adjustments.
I'll be glad to hear if someone succeeded in making the printer work on other distributions, if so please drop me a comment.
That'due south all folks! Enjoy printing 😉
