Samsung SL-C430W refuses to print test page USB/Ethernet/WiFi Debian 10.
by globetrotterdk from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5DSPB)
Samsung SL-C430W on clean, new Debian Buster (Cinnamon) refuses to print a test page, regardless of whether using USB, Ethernet or WiFi. A USB connection produces a print out with an SPL error message - error code 11-1114.
With the printer connected either by an Ethernet cable or by WiFi, I get the message:
Processing - Unable to locate printer "SEC8425197B7B79.local". - "Is your printer connected?"
Nothing happens further and my printer at this point is about as useful as a pile of bricks sitting on my desk.
My Debian Buster Cinnamon install does not have a firewall installed, and the system is able to setup the printer for the first time, regardless of connection (except WiFi) without any intervention from me. I adjust the parameters (stationary) as needed and that is it.
The printer has been able to work with an Ethernet connection on a Q4OS KDE install (which is basically a Debian Buster with KDE Plasma) as well as connected to USB with a Fedora 33 Jam install. However, due to other technical issues, I have chosen to stick with Debian Buster Cinnamon - I just don't have a working printer.
Any advice? I have never in all the time I have used Linux, come across a printer problem as frustrating and weird as this one.
