*Ubuntu does not any more recognise the printer Samsung ML-1660.
Dear Everybody,
ever since a few months, I do not manage any more to print with my laserprinter, Samsung ML-1660, though it worked quite well during a few years. Reason: *Ubuntu does not recognise any more this printe, when plugging in the USB cabler. At present, I work with Kubuntu 12.04, along with KDE 4.9.1. Any clue how to fix this problem?

Doesn't the OS detect the printer when it is connected or is it a driver problem? Does any thing show up on your screen if you are monitoring your system logs at the time you connect the printer? Try the following: tail -f /var/log/kern.log And then plug in the printer. Does anything show up in the log? What? If the printer is detected when it is connected and still does not work, maybe it is a driver problem. Samsung usually provides good Linux drivers for their printers at their website. Have you tried them? []'s Marcelo -- kubuntu-users mailing list kubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users |

I have a Samsung ML-1640 and it works great!
How did yo switch to 12.04? Upgrade? Fresh install? If you've upgraded, it might be a configuration conflict for CUPS. I did a fresh install and it popped up as soon as I connected it and turned it on... Try re-configuring CUPS. Good Luck!

Same here - I used Samsung "Unified driver" on a 10.04, but on a fresh install of 12.04 ML-1660 worked just after plugging in, without additional software. Perphaps removing all files installed during process and trying again should help. -- Best regards, Krzysztof Mitko -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

Thanks for all the replies so far in this thread.
Here I go through them. > does the printer work when you plug printer before powering om > computer? It did so before Kubuntu stopped identifying/ recognising the printer. However, at a certain moment, the printer did not print any more. At CUPS something like this was being said: "Waiting for the printer to become available". That's why, I removed the printer from CUPS with a view to reinstalling it after a reboot. This worked well one or a few times, until the same "Waiting for the printer..." problem came back. > Doesn't the OS detect the printer when it is connected or is it a driver > problem? A few times, the system did immediately recognise the printer - even without me installing the Linux drivers from Samsung. After such a moment, I could go on printing without problems. But a few hours or days later, the "Waiting for the printer .." problem came back. That's why I have again manually installed those drivers along the lines of the following instructions: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1591873 This method worked well for some years, but now it does not succeed more. That's one on reasons I soon will carry out a fresh install of Kubuntu 12.04 with KDE 9.4.1. at both of my laptops. > Does any thing show up on your screen if you are monitoring your system logs > at the time you connect the printer? Try the following: > tail -f /var/log/kern.log > And then plug in the printer. Does anything show up in the log? What? Before plugging in the printer, I get the following: bas@Viaconsensus-travel:~$ tail -f /var/log/kern.log Sep 23 20:53:42 Viaconsensus-travel kernel: [ 16.990835] wlan0: authenticated Sep 23 20:53:42 Viaconsensus-travel kernel: [ 17.016921] wlan0: associate with 00:16:0a:24:f6:62 (try 1) Sep 23 20:53:42 Viaconsensus-travel kernel: [ 17.216343] wlan0: associate with 00:16:0a:24:f6:62 (try 2) Sep 23 20:53:42 Viaconsensus-travel kernel: [ 17.366781] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:16:0a:24:f6:62 (capab=0x431 status=0 aid=1) Sep 23 20:53:42 Viaconsensus-travel kernel: [ 17.366791] wlan0: associated Sep 23 20:53:42 Viaconsensus-travel kernel: [ 17.372028] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready Sep 23 20:53:42 Viaconsensus-travel kernel: [ 17.449708] init: plymouth-stop pre-start process (1301) terminated with status 1 Sep 23 20:53:43 Viaconsensus-travel kernel: [ 17.860623] init: bluetooth main process (893) killed by SEGV signal Sep 23 20:53:43 Viaconsensus-travel kernel: [ 17.860696] init: bluetooth main process ended, respawning Sep 23 20:53:53 Viaconsensus-travel kernel: [ 28.464187] wlan0: no IPv6 routers present Now, I stay in the same terminal while switching the printer on and plugging it in. Nothing happens after doing so. So, I quit the terminal and reopen it. I give in the same command: bas@Viaconsensus-travel:~$ tail -f /var/log/kern.log The results are exactly the same - nothing change in relation to the printer or anything else. So, I do another experiment - with the printer still connected to the laptop, but no other USB device. bas@Viaconsensus-travel:~$ lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 064e:d217 Suyin Corp. Bus 006 Device 002: ID 0cf3:311d Atheros Communications, Inc. After disconnecting the printer, I carry out the same lsusb experiment. Exactly the same outcome. > If the printer is detected when it is connected and still does not work, maybe > it is a driver problem. Perfectly legitimate suggestion. But as I said, I did install the right driver in a way it used to be effective. So, the problem may be somewhere else. > Samsung usually provides good Linux drivers for their printers at their website. I wholeheartedly agree. > Have you tried them? Yes, absolutely. I have worked with them during probably 2 years - successfully until recently. > I have a Samsung ML-1640 and it works great! The same applies for me - at least, till recently. > How did yo switch to 12.04? Upgrade? Fresh install? At both of my laptops, I did a fresh install - in May, so nearly half a year ago.. In fact, I always do a fresh install as soon as possible after upgrading and making a list of "installed packages". For details about this, see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=261366&page=12 > I did a fresh install and it popped up as soon as I connected it and turned it on... After my fresh install, exactly the same happened. I even did not need to manually install the drivers from Samsung - they came themselves immediately after connecting the printer. So, everything seemed to work flawlessly, until that bizarre "Printer waiting..." problem popped up. > If you've upgraded, it might be a configuration conflict for CUPS. Try re-configuring CUPS. This is bizarre. The first time the problem became manifest, was in June - about one month after the fresh install of 12.04 at both machines. Via CUPS, I removed a few times the driver of SAMSUNG ML-1640 - with a view to reinstall it after a reboot - a few times, this strategy seemed to work, until some moment in July. After coming back from holiday, I again tried to reconfigure CUPS - no luck any more. > Same here - I used Samsung "Unified driver" on a 10.04, but on a fresh > install of 12.04 ML-1660 worked just after plugging in, without > additional software. As I said before: this happened in my case also. But about one month later, the problems became manifest. > Perphaps removing all files installed during > process and trying again should help. This is exactly what I tried a few times: successfully until some moment, no luck any more ever since. Apart from the printer problem, the system is behaving weird. That's why, I will carry out another fresh install at both machines as soon as I can. After doing so, I will tell you at this forum whether I manage to get started again with the printer.
