[SOLVED] - Samsung CLP-315 with foo2qpdl driver problem

toad · 2009-09-09 18:57:43

Got myself a Samsung CLP-315 colour laser printer, runs fine on single pages with the Foomatic/foo2qpdl (recommended) driver.

However, on any print jobs with two or more pages it insists on printing a narrow black line at the bottom of page 1+.

This is a pain and I wondered if anybody else was experiencing similar problems...

I have the same printer, and printing jobs with more than one page works just fine

Hi seiichiro0185,

thanks for your info. So it is not the driver or linux but the printer itself... Time I read the manual

Things that come to mind immediately:

- give the toner a good shake
- adjust the paper tray properly

Let's see whether I can get this thing going properly...

It appears it was down to Printer Options in CUPS.

But first I had to install a new driver 'cos the packages foo2zjs-315 and foo2zjs in AUR are flagged out of date and did not install anyway. So new driver from http://foo2qpdl.rkkda.com/, followed the very simple installation instructions and adjusted Printer Options in CUPS as follows:

Bingo, black lines have disappeared.

Arch Linux
