Can anyone help me set up Samsung SCX-4623F printer?
I modified devfs.rules accordingly and enabled cups in rc.local.
I installed splix-2.0.0_8, but the printer driver is not there.
Help please. Thank you.

drivers for Linux and used ppd and rastertospl, but it only prints the
error message:
INTERNAL ERROR - Please use the proper driver.
POSITION : 0x0 (0)
SYSTEM : h6fw_5.35/xl_cp
LINE : 167
VERSION : SPL 5.35 06-03-2009
Thank you for your time.

* Sane-backends uses its xerox_mfp driver for the SCX-4623, so if you
can't find a suitable Samsung driver, perhaps a Xerox driver would
work.

It's inconvenient to turn on my old and slow laptop when I need to
print, but then I rarely use the printer. Maybe one or two times a year?
So, it's OK.
Thanks.

Post printers.conf from your working Linux configuration.
