These are the correct passages: 1) Download the Samsung unified printer driver from their website (UnifiedLinuxDriver_*.tar.gz) 2) Extract /cdroot/Linux/noarch/at_opt/share/ppd/ML-1660spl.ppd to a temporary directory (That could be the Desktop). 3) For 32 bit: extract /cdroot/Linux/i386/at_root/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertosamsung* to a tmp dir 4) For 64 bit: extract /cdroot/Linux/x86_64/at_root/usr/lib64/cups/filter/rastertosamsung* to a tmp dir 5) sudo cp tmpdir/rastertosamsung* /usr/lib/cups/filter 6) sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertosamsung* 7) sudo chown root:root /usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertosamsung* Plug the printer in - Ubuntu should recognise it connected via USB and give it its own name 9) Add a new printer with cups via System -> Administration -> Printing. In the "Choose Driver" section select "Provide PPD file" and browse and select ML-1660spl.ppd that you extracted earlier to a tmp dir. 10) Print a test page, and away you go!

#12 Re: HOWTO: Configure the Samsung ML-1660 for CUPS Great post. Was looking around for a while until I found this - install worked perfectly following the updated steps. Strange that the Ubuntu autoinstall came up with printer models on either side of this one (e.g. ML1651 and model numbers higher than ML-1660) but not this printer. I sent a nonsensical email to Samsung saying they should provide better support for Ubuntu in response
#13 Re: HOWTO: Configure the Samsung ML-1660 for CUPS Super job, got it working right away...thanks a lot for the information.

Hello Everybody, When working with Kubuntu 11.04 and a few preceding versions, I have been able to print perfectly well with Samsung ML-1660 - along the lines of the instructions at this page. However, in Kubuntu 11.10 and 12.04, the printer is not being recognised any more - even after exactly carrying out the instructions here, *Ubuntu simply does not detect the printer. There must be some bug, because in a few preceding versions the printer detection worked flawlessly. At some forum, I saw the recommendation to install again some old Linux kernel - however, this caused various other complications. That's why,I hope to get ideas for other remedies or "workarounds" for this problem. #15

Thanks, respectfully yours, Bas Roufs. 4 Weeks Ago Bas Roufs First Cup of Ubuntu Join Date: Dec 2007 Beans: 3 Re: HOWTO: Configure the Samsung ML-1660 for CUPS Today, the problems seems to be solved for "80%". The system, Kubuntu 12.04, again recognises the printer. I do manage to print test pages. I also do manage to print from other applications - however, I often need to switch on and off the printer in order to get a page printed. Respectfully yours, Bas Roufs.
