How to install Samsung scx3200 printer [Solved]

[stayhuman]

I'm new to Sabayon. I'm trying to install a Samsung scx3200 mono multi-function printer in Sabayon 9.

I tried through CUPS. It recognizes thw printer but lists no driver for it. I downloaded the UnifiedLinuxDriver for this printer from Samsung's website. It is a tar.gz package. I am never sure where to extract these so I just extracted it to Documents in my home directory.

Running the shell script I got the message:

libtiff.so.3 not found, install ... done
**** It seems Qt library is not installed, or X display is not accessible.
**** Custom Qt library will be configured for use with this package.

However, the installation program opened just the same. Followed its steps, but it stopped at 97% with the message:

Can't restart CUPS - script not found

CUPS is installed.

Where did I go wrong and what should I do?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Why are you doing that when the driver is in the Entropy package manager's repository?

As root user in a Konsole/Terminal window:

Code: Select all

equo install samsung-unified-linux-driver

Then use the CUPS browser interface to install the printer driver.

Because I never thought to look? (Leaves me red-faced).

Thanks!
