  • samsung ml 1660 driver for linux

    I'm looking for a driver for Ubuntu linux for the Samsung ML1660 printer. The Samsung site seems to list models all around the 1660, but not that one. The page on this site for the Samsung universal configurator seems to turn up a blank page with no file to download.

    Are there alternate drivers/model that are sufficiently similar to substitute? Or any idea why Samsung seems to ignore this model?

      ML-1660 magic

      you need 'rastertosamsungspl' and 'ML-1660.ppd' from
      Samsung's 'UnifiedLinuxDriver_0.86.tar.gz'.

      The magic is thus:

      1. Convert whatever you want to print into PostScript (FILE.ps).
      2. Type 'export PPD=/wherever/you/put/ML-1660.ppd' (the spl filter needs this to be set)
      3. Type '/wherever/you/put/rastertosamsungspl 1 1 1 1 1 FILE.ps > FILE.spl'
      4. Type 'cat FILE.spl > /dev/usblp0' (or whatever your system calls it) and you WILL HAVE PRINT!
