Hello Fellowship

Samsung printer+scanner ML2070W work good in linux and i used it since 2015 : https://support.hp.com/emea_africa-en/drivers/closure/samsung-xpress-sl-m2070-laser-multifunction-printer-series/model/16450387
Script is installed 'install.sh, then i reboot.

However, into Fedora Atomic [or MicroOS opensuse immutable] scanner is working, but printer is not Recognized, model does not appear in 'print select ’ -firefox or okular for instance.

Well, I would recommend to look into that install.sh script and see what it tries to do.

If it wants to write files outside of /var /usr/local /etc or /home, it will not work on atomic desktops.

Instead, you would need to build an RPM that places these files in the correct locations.

This is the big bottleneck of atomic desktops, the inability to place some files in system locations. When I have time I make a bash script that builds an RPM from a filesystem structure to make this easy

But not now

Not sure if it helps but it looks like another user managed to build an RPM based on that install script.
It also seems that Negativo17 has packages for samsung printers which might be worth a try :person_shrugging:

Negativo is doing great job !

Thank you for your solution !
