Solution to Samsung ML-2010 not working

shaurz · 2011-08-08 22:04:16

I've had problems with my Samsung ML-2010 printer not working (using the Splix drivers), but I've found the solution and I thought it would be useful to share the solution here.

There is some conflict with a module called "usblp" which prevents CUPS from discovering the printer. You need to blacklist the module by adding the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf

blacklist usblp

And the printer should now work after rebooting. If you need to get the printer working without rebooting, run the following commands:

$ sudo rmmod usblp
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/cupsd restart

I have a Samsung ML-2010 too and i got it working as you described reading the wiki, but I have a problem sometimes the printer does not print I have to unplug the printer from the USB and plug it back and then it's working ... does it work fine for you?

I've had that problem before. Not found any solution yet.

same here, but it seems to work better with the samsung official drivers than splix.
