Subject: [Bug 44407] Re: Samsung clp510 not working

Your printer is not very well supported. The only way to get it working
are closed-source drivers provided on Samsung's web site (or perhaps
also included on the printer's driver CDs). This driver cannot be
included in most distros due to copyright reasons. It also needs often
special tricks to really work with the desired distribution. See

I am currently working with standardization of printer driver interfaces
in LSB 3.2 and automatic driver download from the internet. This should
make live easier in such situations. See

Samsung clp510 not working

Driver from samsung site does not work for me. After searching online,
this driver works for sum, but not for tohers. Printer was sold a
STAPLES office supply, and should be fairly common. Really needs to be
supported. Thanks.
