Good day,
Got a Samsung SCX 4623f printer.
It seems that Debian 6.05 does not have a driver for it.
Debian 7 testing, ubuntu 12.04, linux mint 2012.04, installs it
automatically.
What would be the way to install it.
1) Samsung unified driver ?.
2) Something from the repo' s?
Thanks

Grandmothers and eggs spring to mind, but have you tried SPLIX?

on Squeeze because the version of CUPS it requires is not suitable. So
take a trip to
http://snapshot.debian.org/
and have a look at splix 2.0.0+svn293-1 and upwards.

The Samsung unified driver was working for me a long time (debian testing),
but some months ago (cca 6) it stops working. Something strange happens,
reinstall was not help and i was not able to decide the reason for this.
And i was not able to find new driver version to download too.
Now i am using the splix. Sometime if want not print more than one page and
unplug/plug USB cable cycle is needed. Sometime the off/on is needed, and
sometime simply CUPS restart helps to continue printing. I am not sure, if
it is the driver issue or something in CUPS, because most of the printing
is coming from remote computer (my daughter and old OpenSuse).
IMO, you can successfully try the Samsung unified driver on the Squeeze,
because in squeeze release time (and long time after this) it was working
for me (and for printing - there was some problems with saned and remote
scanning).

One way is by looking in /usr/share/ppd/splix/samsung.

Lenny doesn't have any scx. Squeeze, however, has scx 4200 and scx 4400.

I have in the past successfully used the ppd for an earlier model in a series
when the later model is not yet available, so it might be worth a try.

The snapshot archive has a splix package which should install on stable.

The package contains scx4623f.ppd. The OP may see some advantage in this.

Our printer is living on borrowed time, so I may yet be glad of that info.

Used synaptic package manager to choose the available drivers now on repo..
Installed and printer is working.

Were those debs coming from here?
***
http://www.bchemnet.com/suldr/pool/debian/extra/s/
- samsungmfp-driver-legacy
The samsungmfp-driver, samsungmfp-driver-3.00.65, and samsungmfp-driver-
legacy packages provide all the binary files for the driver itself
(printing and scanning); the difference is the version of the driver and
required system dependencies.
You may need to manually add printers via standard interfaces, although
in some distributions a USB-connected printer may be automatically
detected and installed.
- samsungmfp-data
The samsungmfp-data package provides the ppd/cms files needed to control
the printers, and is pretty much required to do anything at all.
***
Mmm, why the "driver-legacy" flavor? Wasn't the other set of packages
working for you? :-?

the whole system nor a specific package.
