Samsung printer problem

[Kowash]

Good day

 

I am trying to install the samsung clp-510 on my mandriva 2007.

The laptop nx9010 detects the printer fine, but the printer is not in the standard list.

 

I googled the clp-510 driver and got to the following site. http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Samsung_CLP-5...er_Installation

 

They referred to a page of splix. http://splix.ap2c.org/

 

I have tried to install the splix but I seem to be to uneducated to do so.

THere is not a really big installation description.

 

Is there any other way that I can install the printer to work fine?

First of all extract the splix-1.1.0.tar.bz2 (you should be able to right click and select 'extract here'). Go into the splix-1.1.0 folder then press F4 (this should open a 'terminal' window at this location). According to the install instructions you need to type: make, once that process has completed you need to switch to root (type: su then enter root password), now type: make install, this should install the driver. To leave root mode type: exit.

Thank you for your reply nexus

 

I have done that. This was my error

 

[office@NX9010 splix-1.1.0]$ make

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/office/tmp/splix-1.1.0/src'

g++ -O2 `cups-config --cflags` -I../include -Wall -g -O0 -c -o spl2.o spl2.cpp

/bin/sh: g++: command not found

make[1]: *** [spl2.o] Error 127

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/office/tmp/splix-1.1.0/src'

make: *** [src] Error 2

 

I don't have a clue what it means or what I should do

 

Thanx again

Do you have g++ on your system? Try: locate g++ and see what that throws up.

Ok...... so I ran the command in root

 

locate g++

 

this was the error

 

could not find the database /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db

 

 

I checked in the packing of mandriva for it and there was a package that contained g++ as a discription for something of c++. It is not installed.

 

Hope this answer your question
