Linx Mint Cinnamon Printer Setup [Solved]

Post by rpeake »

Hi. After installing LM13 64 bit Cinnamon, it had trouble configuring my printer.
LM13 would find the printer, Samsung ML-1865W, but could not successfully configure it automatically.
So I used the 'CUPS Web Browser interface'. Simply type
http://localhost:631 into your browser and use the 'CUPS for Administrators' section options.

You will need to supply a user name and password to the CUPS Interface.

This didn't work for me. While the ML-1865W was listed on the CUPS Web Browser interface it wouldn't install the necessary ppd file, and prompt me to supply one.
I tried the available driver for the ML-2152W instead and it works fine.

This worked for me. I could not see my HP Laserjet 4 printer connected to LPT1 at all in Cinnamon. Thanks everyone.
