Old Samsung laser printer install
by DanceMan from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5K5H6)
Lenovo M82 MX Linux Samsung ML-1710 laser printer
Printer works -- printed test page by holding button on printer.
Used the MX printer utility to id the printer but does not print from the computer. I installed the uld driver file, but still no printing. If I've done this correctly the results of two commands should be showing the status.
