Samsung printer not working with cups

I have a problem printing from my Arch installation.

So far I have downloaded the driver from the Samsung site and installed it.

lsusb shows that the printer is recognised.

I installed cups and I enabled it.

Systemctl status shows it is running.

But when I try to print something it only will allow me to print a file.

I suspect I might have missed a step or two.

Any suggestions?

Re: Samsung printer not working with cups

Did you add the printer to cups?  You will have to configure cups as well as start it.  Just go to http://localhost:631 and you can configure the printer from there.

EDIT: Also, this is a slight necrobump.  If you have issues in the future, please create your own thread about it and link back to the old one if needed.

Thanks, I'll try that.

Apologies.

SUCCESS!

Thanks again.

I have split the related posts from this thread to here as it is a separate issue from a separate user.
