Hey,
As this is my first post, hello and thanks for all your support - up until now I have always found what I needed without posting, but I couldn't find anything on this topic.

I have the Samsung CLP 315W (http://www.samsung.com/au/consumer/print-solutions/print-multifunctions-copiers/colour-laser-printer/CLP-315/XSA/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&returnurl=) connected to my network. The printer works fine for my brother who uses Windows 7, and it is automatically detected by the 'Printing' application when I searched for networked printers (System- Administration - Printing), but upon test printing the printer gave me a page reading something to the effect of: "Error - Please use correct drivers"

I have downloaded drivers located at the Samsung Australia site, here (http://www.samsung.com/au/consumer/print-solutions/print-multifunctions-copiers/colour-laser-printer/CLP-315/XSA/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=support). But I have no idea how to install them, could someone please point me in the right direction?

I am using Karmic Koala with the latest updates.

Thanks in advance,
Joseph.
