Samsung SCX-4100 laser printer mfp, with Debian/Sarge. Cannot get beyond test page
Samsung has supports for many Linux distributions, but not Debian. The
printer works fine with its Win setup, but I cannot get anything to
print with Debian beyond a test page from CUPS.
Following Samsung's directions, I made sure I had CUPS (1.1.23-15) and
SANE (1.0.14-1), downloaded the latest drivers as of 12/25/05. The
install completed OK it said, but gave these error messages:
cp: cannot stat `/usr/bin/lpr.cups': No such file or directory
rmmod: module mfpportprobe is not loaded
rmmod: module mfpport is not loaded
Unable to update /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
I note that the modules are now present:
/lib/modules/2.4.27-1-386/kernel/drivers/mfpportctrl/mfpportprobe.o
/lib/modules/2.4.27-1-386/kernel/drivers/mfpportctrl/mfpportprobe.o
I printed a test page from CUPS 631 interface, but any other print job
gets 'Unable to open MPF port device file' Error Code 12, and turns the
printer off.
I see various postings in the archives here and at linuxprinting.org
about problems with other Samsung printers, but nothing of help about
this unit recently (that I can find). Any help is most appreciated,
