CLP-600N won't Print - Splix and Samsung Unified Drivers

Hello,

I've come across a very strange problem when I try to use the Samsung drivers from aur:

rastertosamsung[24578] general protection ip:41126d sp:7fffe7e292e0 error:0 in rastertosamsungsplc[400000+1e000]

and it just prints a incomplete session timeout error

when using the Splix drivers (2.00 and svn)  I get

E [30/Jul/2011:13:48:13 +0200] Unable to execute /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstosecps: No such file or directory
E [30/Jul/2011:13:48:13 +0200] [Job 13] Unable to start filter "pstosecps" - No such file or directory.

that file is nowhere to be found

the printer itself works just fine in windows.

also I'm using Network printing here (ipp via cups), so usb isn't involved.

I have another Samsung network printer but I did it this way: Find the required ppd file(s) in the Samsung Unified Drivers and install it via CUPS web ui and configure your printer with that ppd for ipp. Better do not install the Unified Drivers, its a mess!

that won't work, it says that rastertosamsungsplc is missing.

also after reinstalling splix-svn I get no entries in the cups error_log but the printer says:

SPL-C error, please use the proper driver

Seems to be a permission thing with rastertosamsungsplc. Is something preventing the execution of rastertosamsungsplc? SELinux? AppAmor? Try chmod +x...

neither SELinux or Apparmor are installed.

I can run rastertosamsungplc from a terminal just fine btw.

Check the owner of /usr/lib/cups/filter. Should be root:root.

The filter maybe crashes due its a executable for i386 and you're on x64? Perhaps the rasterization can be done with foomatic, but I have no clue on that.

The German Samsung Support site offers another driver (i386 only) for your printer without the mentioned filter. Give it a try. (Better use the ppd only file...)

Further no ideas. Sorry.
