I also have this printer along with an epson for printing photos. The Samsung
CD simply does not work. You need to download the driver system from their
website and install it as indicated. It will be set up outside the debian
system. However cups will find the printer & all works well. For the money it
is great & really fast after the initial warmup. This printer will set up its
own web faced printer management system & thats not a bad thing.
