Short version of my question:
How can I install a printer driver on Fedora Silverblue?
Long version:
I have the Samsung SCX-3400 and when I used Fedora Workstation the only thing I had to do, was running the shell script that is provided by Samsung. But when I run that script last week, I got an error (that I can’t reproduce because I don’t now how to uninstall/reinstall the driver) and I’m left with a non-working printer. The printer is recognized but it simple won’t print.
I could see the error only for a fraction of a second but I think that script wanted to write some data to a directory that was read-only and that could explain why I’m left with a non-working printer.
Does somebody have some advice about what I could do?
I tried running the script in the Fedora Toolbox but when I did this I got the message that cups wasn’t installed. When I tried to install cups in the Fedora Toolbox I got the message that it couldn’t be restarted because systemd wasn’t installed. Somehow Fedora Toolbox isn’t made for this.
I had a feeling someone would of made an rpm of the driver, turned out Negativo had one, which is even better because Negativo is a generally trusted source.
Since I have upgrade to Fedora 33 everything went very well except my Samsung printer. It doesn’t work even after reinstalling the above old rpm driver. Does anybody face the same issue ? Do you know if there is a newer uld rpm driver because the above negativo one is also a dead link anyway now
Thanks
Not sure what you mean with ‘scan’, but can you either install the new package (for Fedora 42) or keep an older one. I have the version for Fedora 38 installed and it works fine in Fedora 42! The driver is probably the same.
