Bug Description
Component: Samsung CLP-315 Color Laser Printer
Driver: Samsung CLP-315 Foomatic/foo2qpdl (recommended)
OS: Clean Ubuntu 9.04 Installation with current updates
System Environment: http://
After connecting the printer the drivers were installer properly.
I can print from all applications but the resulting print-out never is satisfying.
Images are way too dark and patchy and characters are a bit blurry.
Fortunately, the results are fine when using Samsung's original drivers.
Hoping for this to be fixed in Karmic. ;-)
To post a comment you must log in.
First you can enhance the printout quality of all color printer drivers from the foo2zjs package by installing color profiles for the printer:
getweb 315 argyll- 0.icm /usr/share/ foo2qpdl/ icm/
sudo mv samclp315-
After that start system- config- printer (System -> Administration -> Printing), right-click your printer's icon, click "Properties", and under "Printer Options" select your loaded profile with the "ICM Color Profile" option. Select the other options so that you get the best possible output quality.
Now try to print again. Do your printouts improve?
Try also the SpliX driver. If it does not appear under the driver choices for your printer, try a similar printer model like the CLP-300 or CLP-310. If these also do not list the SpliX driver, install the SpliX package from
http:// openprinting. org/show_ driver. cgi?driver= splix
Close and restart system- config- printer and try again to set up your printer with something like "Samsung CLP-300, SpliX ...".
Does this give better quality? Which one gives the best quality for you?
