Samsung SCX-3405FW Printer - pauloz - 03-11-2015
Hello again.
I've decided to install LL on my desktop dual booting with Windows 7. All done and all good - the only problem I'm encountering is with my printer, a mono laser Samsung SCX-3405FW. When I configure, it recognises the printer i.e. 3400 series but only recommends a generic driver, which I choose from the database (there is an option available for Samsung but my model number does not appear). The next recommended option is the generic "text-only", which I choose and all appears OK until I try to print a test page. I get the error "CUPS server error - There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-document-format-not-supported'."
Not being sure where to go next, I decided to download from the Samsung website the only driver available for Linux (ULD_V1.00.27.04.tar.gz). I managed to extract to a folder called ULD. Now I've come to a grinding halt.
Any help from cyberspace would be appreciated.
Thanks
Paul

I have a Samsung SCX-3405W
I have never used it in Linux Lite (I only print about a dozen pages per year) but I will try to set it up, and give you the voodoo, assuming I am successful. I did get it working in Mint 16 and Mint 17, previously.
The included instructions from the Samsung website are not entirely accurate...
Re: Samsung SCX-3405FW Printer - AustinTexas - 03-11-2015
Driver: ULD_V1.00.27.04.tar.gz
(same driver for SCX-3405FW and SCX-3405W)
Go to samsung.com > Printers > Owners and Support > Downloads > Office > Printers > Black and White Multifunction Printers > SCX-3405W > GET Downloads > DOWNLOAD (downloaded to new folder /Downloads/Samsung2015/ )
Open File Manager to /Downloads/Samsung2015/ > right click on downloaded file, ULD_V1.00.27.04.tar.gz > Extract here
Creates folder - uld
Right-click on uld folder > Open in terminal
In terminal, enter: sudo ./install-printer.sh
NOTE: You have to hit enter to scroll through the licensing garbage, I mean verbage, and if you scroll too fast you will kill the process, and have to start over. Just scroll fast until you see Item #9 and then go slowly until you see the Y/N request.
Rebooted
Menu > System > Printers (configure) > Add New > Samsung SCX-3400
Printer is now working.
Now for the scanner...
It appears that all you have to do for the scanner is run: sudo ./install.sh
after installing the printer. (not sudo ./install-scanner.sh )

Hi AustinTexas
Thanks for your time but after entering sudo ./install-printer.sh I got the message "Command not found". I had managed to extract the file that created the uld folder previously. I'll try Rob's suggestion now.

Success! I went through the process Rob suggested, but in addition to AustinTexas's comments, I had to open as Administrator to gain root privileges. Also, the "sudo" command was not necessary. With the scanner, I went through the same process and used "./install-scanner.sh"
Thanks to both of you!

"Command not found" can also be caused by the sh files not executable
So type command "chmod +x *.sh" to make them executable.
