#179366 — Samsung ML-1915 printer

I'm still stuck with my problem, so I'm posting it again hoping for some help:
I alone don't manage to have my printer work, a Samsung ML-1915.  I installed
cups but the printer does not respond.  Printing jobs are stopped because of
"Filter failed" issue.  I also got no answer from cups mailing list.

Thanks for any help,

Rodolfo

It also seems that you don't read all the answers you get from this list
(I'll Cc to you). Here's what I wrote quite recently:

Sorry...  Thanks for your suggestion, but ghostscript is already installed in
my system, which is Sid...  So I don't think testing woul do do any better...

...Strange enough, the same printer works fine on another machine of mine,
where Debian Sid is *also* installed...

You had *two* replies yesterday in the thread "'filter failed' no print
error message". Care to read the other one.

Very useful. You can now compare the error_logs on both machines,
looking in particular at the filters used.

Have you downloaded the ppd file from Samsung? I assume it's available 
on the Internet from Samsung.
Here is an install routine for an Epson printer on my PCLOS system. The 
red colors are for the printer,
the blue colors are for me. You should replace them with your own. And 
of course, the colors are not
part of the install! From a root command prompt:

lpadmin -p WP4530 -E -D "linux1" -L RPNY -v socket://192.168.1.26:9100 
-P 
/opt/epson-inkjet-printer-201113w/ppds/Epson/Epson-WP-4530_Series-epson-driver.ppd.gz 
-E

linux1 is the name of my computer
RPNY is an abbreviation of my location
192.168.1.26 is the static IP of my printer
/opt is a directory in /
/epson-inkjet-printer-201113w is a subdirectory in /opt
/ppds is the next subdirectory
/Epson is the next subdirectory
Epson-WP-4530, etc is the actual driver found in the /Epson subdirectory

I don't know what you put for the socket if your printer doesn't have a 
static ip; all of my devices have static ips. I find that otherwise I 
don't know what's where!
After you do that  open cups (http://localhost:631) and turn off 
sharing, unless you want all your computers to use the same printer all 
the time. If you have two
printers, things might get confusing. I have each of my two printers 
installed separately in each of my computers, and sharing turned off in 
each. Strange things happen
if you don't do it this way. Be very careful of CASE when you put in the 
command, and watch spaces, underlines, etc.

When you modify cups, you may have to put in name and password. For 
name, the answer is root and for password, the answer is your own root 
password.

Thanks to a Tasmanian  fellow who goes by the name "wedgetail" for 
teaching me this. via the PCLOS Forum.

Both these are optional. The case used is up to the user.

On Debian the PPD is in the printer-driver-escpr package, The -P option
isn't needed. -m escpr:0/model..... would be used instead.

Rodolfo Medina's printer only has a USB interface.

"-o printer-is-shared=false" in the lpadmin command would save having to
use the web interface.

Queue names are case-insensitive. WP4530 is the same as wp4530.

The user's username and password can be used if she is a member of the
lpadmin group. The command 'groups' would inform.

The HOWTO looks fine for 2010. In 2017 CUPS has changed but, more
importantly for this thread and its sister one at

 https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/03/msg00100.html ,

Samsung has made changes to its Unified Linux Driver package.

rastertosamsungspl doesn't exist anymore. It is now rastertospl; the
PPDS are altered to reflect this.

It is a good object lesson in not using outdated proprietry software.

Curious indeed. rastertospl has to be executable and owned by root.

 chown root.root rastertospl

I give in! Your ULD package doesn't work for you on unstable. Let us see
how mine goes on.

1. Go to http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/ML-1910/SEE and download
   uld_v1.00.06.tar.gz.

2. Decompress and unpack the file with 'tar zvxf uld_v1.00.06.tar.gz'.

3. cp uld/i386/rastertospl /usr/lib/cups/filter/.

4. chown root.root /usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertospl.

5. cp uld/noarch/share/ppd/Samsung_ML-191x_Series.ppd /usr/share/ppd/custom/.

6. lpinfo -m | grep ML-191x.

7. lpadmin -p ML191x -v file:/dev/null -E -m lsb/usr/custom/Samsung_ML-191x_Series.ppd.

The last five steps are done as root.

Now (as root again)

8. cupsfilter -p /etc/cups/ppd/ML192x.ppd -e -m printer/foo message.txt > out.prn 2>log.

log and out.prn have been compressed and attached to this mail.
Uncompress with gunzip. Note that the log shows all filters being run
successfully. As far as I am concerned, cupsd and the filtering system
have worked well. message.txt contains a secret message for you.

out.prn is a file which can be sent directly to the Samsung printer.
But I haven't got such a printer, you say. Ah, but *you* have. So do

 cat out.prn > /dev/usb/lp0

You can now reveal the message to everyone.

An invitation: any of the hundreds of list readers with a USB connected
Samsung printer which accepts SPL can have fun trying to print the file
too.
