Adding a Samsung ML-1865w laser printer to Ubuntu
October 23, 2011 8 Comments
Samsung ML-1865w laser printer is a good alternative for those who print much more in black and white than in color. I was trying to add it to Ubuntu, but it was not found automatically by Ubuntu. So I need to add its driver manually, following the steps below:
# enter in a temporarty directory cd /var/tmp # downloads the unified linux driver wget http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/downloadfile/ContentsFile.aspx?CDSite=UNI_HK_EN&CttFileID=3182440&CDCttType=DR&ModelType=N&ModelName=ML-1865W&VPath=DR/201106/20110602161236937/UnifiedLinuxDriver_0.98.tar.gz # unconpressing driver tar -xzf UnifiedLinuxDriver_0.98.tar.gz # remove compressed drive rm UnifiedLinuxDriver_0.98.tar.gz # enter cd cdroot # run autorun -> It will open a window -> Next -> I accept -> Next -> Add user: vianna -> Next -> Mark "Disable LPT support" -> Wait installing pr sudo ./autorun # remove install directory cd ..; rm -rf cdroot
See ya!
Hello, I just wanted to tell you, you’re wrong. Your article doesn’t make any sense.
Hi top banget,
Are you real? (not a robot?) If so, could you please explain why this post is wrong?
The purpose of this post was that, since Ubuntu does not recognize automatically this Samsung printer, I share the solution found for settting it (install manually its driver).
Best regards,
Emanuel
