Samsung CLP-315 Printer Problem

[RamonBianco]

Greetings. I'm running Feisty, and I hope this is the "right place" for this question.

I got a CLP-315 printer, and I tried to do a "minimal" install from the CD (which is up-to-date), because the printer will be on a network print server if I can get it working, so I won't have access to the printer with the Samsung "Smart Panel" software, which uses the USB connection.

I have asked about this in the HOWTO Install Samsung Unified Printer Driver thread, but I haven't gotten any response.

I went through the menu system, System>Administration>Printing, and then used the New Printer icon. I found the PPD file for the printer on the CD and used that. This didn't work, so I searched and found the above thread, which recommended to try
sudo cp ./cdroot/Linux/i386/at_root/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertosamsungsplc /usr/lib/cups/filter/Now the printer prints, but only in a half/double way. It prints two duplicate, identical, narrow columns, each a half-size version of the page, separated by a series of white bands every 3 mm or so. I'm attaching a pic below, for your information and amusement.

I hope someone here can help solve this problem.

Thanks.

Now!



See a larger image of the problem in this post in that thread. (The image has sometimes been unavailable in that post, but you can see it by the thumbnail above.)

Tell me if you've ever seen anything like it. And how it got fixed.

Thank you for your consideration.

Does anyone have suggestions for other places to look to solve this problem?

Thanks.

BTW, I have tried contacting Samsung twice already about this half/double printing issue, with no response.

Are there any alternative locations that might have information on how to correct this printer semi-duplication?
