Hi, Sorry that I posted this problem on the wrong site. I am still having problems with the above mentioned printer. When trying to print I get the following error - Idle - "File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstosecps" has insecure permissions (0100777/uid=0/gid=0)." Any help would be greatly appreciated Cheers

Update - on searching the Mageia Control Centre, it shows a "cups-insecure-filter"

What driver did you install for this one? Please post the output of
Code: Select all
cat /etc/cups/printers.conf
and
Code: Select all
cat /var/log/cups/error_log
from a terminal as root
but please use code-tags for that: ftp://ftp.mandrivauser.de/rpm/rpm/extra ... e_tags.ogv
Also you may want to take a look at http://en.community.dell.com/support-fo ... 62180.aspx and http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Sam ... g-CLX-3175

Thanks doktor. I just changed the permission of the file mentioned in the posts you mentioned. I did a complete reinstall and done the following 1. installed printer using MCC 2.installed the Samsung Linux Unified Driver from the samsung website 3. run the following command in a root terminal "chmod 755 /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstosecps" (minus the ""). Thanks for the help

As you missed to explicitly post the result, i assumed the printer is working properly now?

Sorry. The printer is working well. As I have not tried to get the scanner working, I'll do some research first. Cheers

Sorry,
the previous post as root user. As normal user-
Code: Select all
??????????@localhost ~]$ sane-find-scanner

  # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
  # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
  # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.

  # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
  # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04e8 [Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.], product=0x342a [CLX-3170 Series]) at libusb:001:003
  # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
  # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

  # Not checking for parallel port scanners.

  # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
  # can't be detected by this program.

  # You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once you
  # found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access permissions as
  # necessary.

Code: Select all

So your scanner is detected. You can't select it f.ex. in xsane?

Hi Doktor5000,
sorry if I have misunderstood you. I cannot select my scanner in the fax extension in xsane.
Cheers

What about skanlite or simple-scan (you may need to install those first)?

Otherwise without access to the hardware and due to no experience with Samsungs's Unified driver issues, can't help you much further. But it seems the scanner can be used, either by using the configuration/setup which comes with that Unified driver, or with the sane-xerox_mfp driver as can be read in the comments for http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Sam ... g-CLX-3175 or in many Ubuntu forum threads, but mostly they set up this printer as network printer/scanner.
Maybe you want to have a look at the following threads: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=341621&page=45 or,from that same thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=341621&page=73 or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1082414
