    6Using Your Printer in 
    Linux 
    You can use your machine in a Linux environment. 
    This chapter includes:
    • Getting Started
    • Installing the Unified Linux Driver
    • Using the Unified Driver Configurator
    • Configuring Printer Properties
    • Printing a Document
    Getting Started
    You need to download Linux software package from the 
    Samsung website (www.samsung.com/printer) to install the 
    printer softwares. 
    After the driver is installed on your Linux system, the driver 
    package allows you to monitor a number of machine devices via 
    fast ECP parallel ports and USB simultaneously. 
    The Unified Linux Driver package is supplied with a smart and 
    flexible installation program. You dont need to search for 
    additional components that might be necessary for the Unified 
    Linux Driver software: all required packages will be carried onto 
    your system and installed automatically; this is possible on a 
    wide set of the most popular Linux clones.
    Installing the Unified Linux 
    Driver
    Installing the Unified Linux Driver
    1Make sure that you connect your machine to your 
    computer. Turn both the computer and the machine on.
    2When the Administrator Login window appears, type in 
    root in the Login field and enter the system password.
    NOTE: You must log in as a super user (root) to install the 
    printer software. If you are not a super user, ask your system 
    administrator.
    3From the Samsung website, download and unpack the 
    Unified Linux Driver package to your computer.
    4Click the   icon at the bottom of the desktop. When the 
    Terminal screen appears, type in: 
    [root@localhost root]#tar zxf [FilePath]/
    UnifiedLinuxDriver.tar.gz[root@localhost root]#cd 
    [FilePath]/cdroot/Linux[root@localhost Linux]#./
    install.sh
    NOTE:  If you do not use the graphical interface and failed to 
    install the software, you have to use the driver in the text 
    mode. Follow the steps 3 to 4, and then follow the instructions 
    on the terminal screen.
    5When the welcome screen appears, click Next.

    6When the installation is complete, click Finish.
    The installation program has added the Unified Driver 
    Configurator desktop icon and the Unified Driver group to 
    the system menu for your convenience. If you have any 
    difficulties, consult the onscreen help that is available 
    through your system menu or can otherwise be called 
    from the driver package Windows applications, such as 
    Unified Driver Configurator.
    NOTE: Installing the driver in the text mode:
    • If you do not use the graphical interface or have failed the 
    driver installation, you have to use the driver in the text 
    mode.
    • Follow the step 1 to 3, then type [root@localhost Linux]# ./
    install.sh, than follow the instruction on the terminal screen. 
    Then the installation completes.
    • When you wan to uninstall the driver, follow the installation 
    instruction above, but type [root@localhost Linux]# ./
    uninstall.sh on the terminal screen.
    Uninstalling the Unified Linux Driver
    1When the Administrator Login window appears, type in 
    root in the Login field and enter the system password.
    NOTE: You must log in as a super user (root) to install the 
    printer software. If you are not a super user, ask your system 
    administrator.
    2Click the   icon at the bottom of the desktop. When the 
    Terminal screen appears, type in: 
    [root@localhost root]#cd /opt/Samsung/mfp/uninstall/
    [root@localhost uninstall]#./uninstall.sh
    3Click Uninstall.
    4Click Next.

    Printing a Document
    Printing from Applications
    There are a lot of Linux applications that you are allowed to 
    print from using Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS). You 
    can print on your machine from any such application.
    1From the application you are using, select Print from the 
    File menu.
    2Select Print directly using lpr.
    3In the LPR GUI window, select the model name of your 
    machine from the Printer list and click 
    Properties.
    4Change the printer and print job properties.
    Click.
    The following four tabs display at the top of the window.
    •
    General - allows you to change the paper size, the paper 
    type, and the orientation of the documents, enables the 
    duplex feature, adds start and end banners, and changes 
    the number of pages per sheet.
    •
    Text - allows you to specify the page margins and set the 
    text options, such as spacing or columns.
    •
    Graphics - allows you to set image options that are used 
    when printing images/files, such as color options, image 
    size, or image position.

    Cancel.
    Printing Files
    You can print many different types of files on the Samsung 
    machine device using the standard CUPS way - directly from 
    the command line interface. The CUPS lpr utility allows you do 
    that. But the drivers package replaces the standard lpr tool by 
    a much more user-friendly LPR GUI program.
    To print any document file:
    1Ty p e  lpr  from the Linux shell command 
    line and press 
    Enter. The LPR GUI window appears.
    When you type only 
    lpr and press Enter, the Select 
    file(s) to print window appears first. Just select any files 
    you want to print and click 
    Open. 
    2In the LPR GUI window, select your printer from the list, 
    and change the printer and print job properties.
    For details about the properties window, see page 25.
