Samsung CLP-300 Series manual Installing the Printer Driver

Installing the Printer Driver

1Make sure that you connect the printer to your computer. Turn both the computer and the printer on.

2When the Administrator Login window appears, type in

“root” in the Login field and enter the system password.

NOTE: You must log in as a super user (root) to install the printer software. If you are not a super user, ask your system administrator.

3Insert the Printer software CD. The CD-ROM automatically runs.

NOTE: If the Printer software CD does not automatically run, click the icon at the bottom of the window. When the Terminal screen appears, type in:

[root@local /root]# mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/ cdrom (Assuming that /dev/hdc is your CD-ROM path and you have /mnt/cdrom directory)

[root@local /root]# cd /mnt/cdrom (the CD-ROM directory) [root@local cdrom]# ./setup.sh

4Select the type of installation, either Recommended or Expert, and then click Continue.

For Expert, select the desired option and then click Begin Install.

6The printer driver installation begins. When the installation is completed, click Start.

7The Linux Printer Configuration window opens. Click the Add Printer icon on the toolbar at the top of the window.

NOTE: Depending on the printing system in use, the Administrator Login window may appear. Type in “root” in the Login field and enter the system password.

Recommended is fully automated and does not require any interaction. Expert installation allows you to select the install path or printing system.

5If you selected Recommended, go to step 6.

8You see the printers currently installed in your system. Select the printer you want to use. The function tabs available for the selected printer appear at the top of the Add a Printer window.

NOTE: If the printer supports PS printing, it is recommended to select the PS driver.
