Ubuntu – How to install the drivers for the Samsung printer

driversprintingsoftware installation

I have a Samsung CLP-325w printer. I downloaded the .tar.gz file from their website, but I can't seem to figure out how to install it.

Here's the link to the driver's tarball

I've been following this guide to install it, but I get stuck at the ./configure command. It says bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

What am I doing wrong? If I'm in the wrong folder, which folder is the correct one?

I should note that I was able to install the drivers via Ubuntu's generic drivers, but I'd really like to know how to do this for future and also to make sure I have the latest drivers.

Installing the driver

  1. Make sure that the machine is connected to your computer and powered on.
  2. From the Samsung website, download the Unified Linux Driver package to your computer.
  3. Right-click the Unified Linux Driver package and extract the package.

  4. Open one Terminal and enter the following commands:

    cd PSU_1.10.tar.gz (the uncompressed folder)

    cd cdroot && cd Linux && cd psu

    sudo ./install.sh

  5. Then it'll ask the root password, enter it.

    Now you should see the following image:
