Samsung CLP-300

I found it in the kdemod printer setup in my Control Center.

I chose it and I get this message:

Unable to load the requested driver:
Unable to create the Foomatic driver [Samsung-CLP-300,foo2qpdl]. Either that driver does not exist, or you don't have the required permissions to perform that operation.

Any idea to solve this?

edit:
When I run the setupscript on the CD ot works all the way until it need to configure.

"CUPS_BackEnd: get-printers failed: client-error-not-found"

Re: Samsung CLP-300

I have a ML-2010 and looking at the Samsung CDrom I noticed it had an old version of Cups. Best not to use it. The Splix driver is in AUR which gives 600 and 1200 DPI resolution but I found printing envelopes I got some garbage around the edges so reverted to the foomatic driver. Are you running the printer setup as root?

Re: Samsung CLP-300

the clp-300 will not work with splix driver. you need to install foo2qpdl (google it) and it should work fine.

Re: Samsung CLP-300

I tested the Splix driver again from the aur and it compiled. I installed it and got it in my driver list.

When I print a testpage I get an errirmasage on the paper! Not on the screen lol

It says:

SPL-C ERROR - uw_color < 5

      POSITION : 0x62831 (403505)

      SYSTEM   : src/xl_image

      LINE     : 475

      VERSION  : SPL-C 5.24 06-28-2006

Re: Samsung CLP-300

Then edit the Makefile to remove that "-olp" switch from install. Arch only has a lp group by default.

CLP-300 is listed as working on the splix home page.

"Friday November, 16: The version 1.1.0 of splix has been released. This version adds the support for newer printers like the CLP-300, CLP-600, and add lots of new supported printer"

Looks like the AUR is out of date.

I had the rows:

...
# Pathnames for referenced packages...
FOODB=/usr/share/foomatic/db/source

# User ID's
LPuid=-olp
LPgid=-glp
ifeq ($(UNAME),Darwin)
    LPuid=-oroot
...

I made this:

#LPuid=-olp
LPuid=""

And it didin't worked. It needs a LPuid.

So I edited the file again and tryed this:

#LPuid=-olp
LPuid=-glp

And it worked without problems big_smile

Thx for all the tips!

Re: Samsung CLP-300

I had the same trouble with the HP laserjet 1018 printer.

For those semi-noobs like me who come unstuck at times when faced with geek stuff like editing config ( or make!) files ....

when you get to the stage where install fails with the message about 

install: invalid user `lp'

type  nano Makefile, scroll down until you see what mandalf has listed above, and make the second change he has posted, save, and then do the install again.
