Re: Printer Samsung Ml 2165 Reset V05 | Updated
Garcia Miller
I did exactly as normal, but instead I manually chose the driver Samsung M2060 from the list, and its printing on my Samsung ML-2165 as normal.
Leaving it here for anyone who has that problem, here is a workaround.
*Be aware that resetting the printer system will remove any existing print queue and reset any customized driver settings.
Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences .
Select Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl + click) your product in the Printers list in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system .
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type your user Name and Password .
Click OK . The printing system resets.
Hi. I have the same problem I have mac os Monterey version 12.1 on my MacBook. I have not been able to install the ml-2165 printer and cannot use the printer. Can you give the link to which driver you downloaded? And what steps do I need to follow? I really need help. Thank you.
Hello,
I'm trying to get my Samsung ML-2165 printer working with CUPS, I had it working a few weeks ago although it only would print a few pages before causing problems. I installed the Samsung Unified Printer Drivers from the AUR and selected the ML-2160 PPD which was the closet to my model. When I try to print it just gets stuck on: "Processing - "Sending data to printer."" I'm not sure what to do. Here's the error log from CUPS:
What I did for my Samsung printer (different model to yours though) was to install the cups-filters package, then extract the ppd file and the
rastertosamsungspl file from the linux unified printer package that came with the printer - then put the rastertosamsungspl in the directory:
By the way although my method uses the proprietary driver I found that the splix open source driver would not work with my printer - though it is possible that installing splix and trying it with yours may work?
What I did for my Samsung printer (different model to yours though) was to install the cups-filters package, then extract the ppd file and the rastertosamsungspl file from the linux unified printer package that came with the printer - then put the rastertosamsungspl in the directory:
For the record, this is exactly the method that the AUR package samsung-ml2160 uses. It works for my ML-2165, but it prints only the first job after (re)starting the printer; at every next job (even test pages) the printer does nothing, although CUPS says that the page is correctly sent to the printer.
2) Making sure that I have the splix driver package installed I can define a usb connected printer with the splix driver which works very well indeed. I have cups and avahi installed and enable cups.socket and avahi-daemon.
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
By the way the key step was adding a line to /etc/udev/rules.d/70-usbprinter.rules. WIthout that my printer was not detected properly - it did work with the propriatary samsung ppd file plus the rastertosamsungspl raster file in the correct place. i.e.
@mcloaked, i' ve tried your udev suggestion. Don't work. I think problem is ppd filter from Samsung. Unfortunately, splix package doesn't provide filter for my ML-2165 (ML-2160 series). When i tried other filters,i.e. ML-2150 ppd, i get print "use correct filter" paper. But, with ML-2160 filter (latest Samsung Unified Driver) i get whole black page. If i use ML-2160 package from AUR, i get blank page. So, it must be filter problem but i can't find a filter which was not fail.
One thing worth checking if you are using the Samsung proprietary files - I think that they have different files for i386 and x86_64 - a few years ago I was bitten by copying the files for the wrong architecture. Just worth checking as the two sets have the same filenames. I use x86_64 all the time now.
I had a lot of problems with my Samsung ML-2580N until I uninstalled all the Samsung stuff and used the Generic PCL 6/PCL XL LF Printer - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9 driver. Since then it has been perfect.
Is it possible to add drivers for this old printer? or how to get to cups web / admin to try to install a network printer, i.e. samsung ml-2165w but previously connected to the router (which works fine as a printer in the local network)
When I type localhost:631/admin I get the response:
not found ?
My system is the latest: easy-5.4-amd64
Other than that, the system works great for me
I installed these two .deb packages on the system but nothing changed.
For me, as if server cups did not work .. specifically, the administration / admin tab after clicking gives the following message:
not found
is this some kind of bug in the system?
On ubuntu as i enter the address :631/admin
I get a web page with settings : add printer etc
on EasyOS server CUPS only shows the first page but the admin tab doesn't work! it's probably some system errors with permissions or CUPS configuration ... but these are quite complicated settings, especially in a non-standard system like Easy OS
Maybe a problem with the hostname in the system? there are some hints on the web, but only for part of ubuntu versions, e.g. reinstalling Cups. but in EasyOS you can't do it ... you have to combine manually but where?
CUPS does not work on EasyOS
If you think that this has happened to you, you can roll back to a more pristine setup.
From the menu:
Shutdown -> Rectify -> Reboot, with rollback
Then choose "Rollback to pristine first-boot"
Then tick all the checkboxes what you want to retain -- probably not "CUPS printer setup"
Then reboot.
EasyOS works super fast on my old laptop, I'm really happy.
Ps.
Is it possible to update the FTP client: gFTP in the new version of the system? ...to be able to connect TLS
I found one small bug. I just wanted to change my desktop wallpaper and got this message:
