Bug Description

Binary package hint: cups

Hello all,

this is a regression bug, which once worked on ubuntu 10.04.
Now 10.04, after updating, and 11.04 are affected.

Versions:
cups:
  Installiert: 1.4.6-5ubuntu1
  Kandidat: 1.4.6-5ubuntu1
  Versionstabelle:
 *** 1.4.6-5ubuntu1 0
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I expect printer samsung to print clear colors.
Instead the printings are of a dark "muddy" color.

Thanks all
leder

Do you have any color profile installed for your printer under /usr/share/foo2qpdl/icm ?
Please run the following command on a terminal to install them:
sudo getweb 3175

Thanks Pascal,

directory icm did not exists. I created it and run the command. Now the two files are in it:
- samclp300-0.icm
- samclp315-argyll-0.icm

The test page before and after I restarted cups are the same color.

How can I test the color profiles I have installed now?

I have no solution to this proposal yet. But there is one resource covering Samsung MFP: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Samsung-Laserdrucker

I will try this one with next release of saucy salamander.

I have a workaround for broken foomatic printerdriver in Ubuntu 13.10:
As of release Version 1.00.06 for the samsung provided driver for Linux my printer CLX-3175FN is fully supported.

the driver provided by samsung here, now works fine for printing and scanning!

Plz move to package foomatic or close this bug, because proprietary samsung driver can be used as a workaround!

The description of "dark, muddy colours" sounds similar to bug 378068. Perhaps both bugs share a common cause.
