Unable to print to ML-2545

[Tuxpan.LV]

Here are my details:

1. Your printer model: Samsung ML-2545
2. Printer is connected to AntiX 22 x386
3. Connected via USB
4. Tried just about every version, but currently using 4.01.17
5. Printer appears to install with now issue, but when attempting to print, I see it get held up on queue. After attempting to release it several time, it just disappears. I have a suspicion it might be permission related. Let me know what other details you want me to post, so that I can add it to the post. Thanks in advance.

I suggest trying this (all will require sudo/root):
1. edit in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to change the "LogLevel" line to "debug" instead of "warn"
2. restart the cups service
3. see what you get in /var/log/cups/error_log after a job that disappears without printing

Then post the error log output, if you cannot make progress yourself from what it says.

bchemnet,

Let me know what you make of it-

Team,
       So I ended up removing the newer driver, lol, then installed the recommended driver Ver: uld_V1.00.39_01.17.tar.gz. Ran the install.sh with printer disconnected. I also created the symbolic link from i386 folder, rastertospl --> rastertosplc, and placed it into: /usr/lib/cups/filter/ . Once installed, rebooted, and AntiX auto detected it. I read somewhere that sometimes that causes an issue, so I removed the installed printer. Power cycled the printer, and then re-connected to AntiX, and ran printer install, which ran perfectly. At the end of the install, clicked on the "Print Test Page", and it worked!!! I will follow up with posting another log, so that we can compare the difference, or where it was getting hung up on. Thank you all for you help and attention!

Thanks for sharing the solution.  Your error log seems to have not have had anything obvious in it, but clearly the job was being lost somewhere.  Fortunately that sounds like it is no longer a problem.
