I had the same problem in cups. It does not recognise the printer correctly after plug in. I solved it like this:
1. stop cups (sudo rc.d stop cupsd)
2. Add the following udev rule in the following new rule /etc/udev/rules.d/10-cups_device_link.rulesKERNEL=="lp[0-9]", SYMLINK+="%k", GROUP="lp"
3. unplug and re-plug the printer
4. ..wait a few and then start cups again (sudo rc.d start cupsd)After that I had the printer recognised by cups in the webinterface and is selectable directly.
I have not tried the drivers you quote or the samsung package, but used HP colour laserjet emulation in cups for now. Yet it prints.
Thanks for the awesome solution. I was trying to get my HP Laserjet 1300 to work, and although it'd print without the usblp module, it was very unreliable. CUPS 1.5.2 wouldn't detect the printer whenever I loaded usblp, but this custom UDEV rule got everything working again. Funny thing is, I never had a problem with any of this in CUPS 1.4.1!
Regards

This worked for me too. It doesn't seem to be in the English version of the wiki.
]]>I uninstalled everything and I installed only cups with usblp blacklisted. Then I installed the printer via the web interface and I selected the HP PCL driver 6 you suggested.
Everything works great now.
Thank you very much for your help Strike0
]]>With processing forever, I mean the print jobs in the cups queue.
You have to be clearer, sorry. So the print jobs stay in the queue forever, but the printer does not get data (indicated by the LEDs)? What happens if you print a testpage from cups? Does it get printed or not?
Maybe you want to try with that HP driver pre-installed in cups. That combination works here. Also maybe delete those printer setup trials in cups that did not work via the webinterface.

the problem now is that the print jobs are proccessing forever
any ideas?

@Strike0
I created the rule and now I get this error in cups interface. "SpliX Cannot get input slot information."

I am new in the forums and I need your help with this problem
My cousin gave me this printer (Samsung CLP-300) and I cant set it up properly.
I have tried so far 2 ways.
1) The cups-usblp package from aur with splix driver. I entered device uri usb://Samsung/CLP-300 and I selected samsung-clp300.ppd from /usr/share/cups/model/samsung/clp300.ppd. Then I tried to print a test page but nothing happened.
2) I also tried the foo2qpdl driver and i followed the instructions in there site but again nothing.
any ideas? sorry for my english
Thanks in advance
