printer multifonction scanning but not printing after installation samsung scx-4655fn
hello experts and contributors of all kind, welcome to my problematic world.
system fedora 27, samsung printer scx-4655fn
- l have installed the printer drivers from HP website.
- i see the printer 'lsusb'.
- after general update i got a message telling me that another driver was required.
- the printer is scanning properly.
- after print test fedora tells that the print job is over but nothing has been printed
- the printer worked fine on windows.4 days ago
l feel like a passenger, lost in the vastness of my own ignorance, en route to homestead2 with 50 years to go, and no aurora lane to distract me from my non-printing printer.
please HELP
Thanks to you all.
Hello, welcome to Ask Fedora, we'll need some more information to help you. Did you see any errors while installing the driver?
What was the exact message about requiring another driver during update?
In Fedora there is open source
splix
driver. If your printed isn't supported you can try a similar model.thanks fcomida for your contribution but i am new in linux system, so compiling stuff with other stuff is out of my reach
Q: does fcomida stand for french food?
Notingh to be compiled, just:
sudo dnf install splix
. I always thought the etymology of the comida surname was spanish and indeed comida means food in spanish. I recently found out that instead it has byzantine origins. Dante Alighieri put a Bishop Gomita in hell (inferno). Gomita, Comita and eventually Comida are all variants of this byzantine surname.i had downloaded the source file from the splix site, so sure the dnf way is easier but still can't find the right driver, the splix trick doesn't seem to work, it's like nothing happened(i did uninstall the hp driver first).
but the more i think about it the more i wonder about why the official driver doesn't work the scanner work i have a laptop with windows installed and the printer and scanner work, so it is not an issue with the printer so it is a big and unreachable HP corporation issue
thanks fcomida
