Printing Files

You can print many different types of files on the Samsung machine
device using the standard CUPS way - directly from the command line
interface. The CUPS lpr utility allows you do that. But the drivers
package replaces the standard lpr tool by a much more user-friendly
LPR GUI program.

To print any document file:

1

Type

lpr <file_name>

from the Linux shell command line and

press Enter. The LPR GUI window appears.

When you type only

lpr

and press Enter, the Select file(s) to print

window appears first. Just select any files you want to print and
click Open.

2

In the LPR GUI window, select your printer from the list, and
change the printer and print job properties.

For details about the properties window, see page 37.

3

Click OK to start printing.

Scanning a Document

You can scan a document using the Unified Driver Configurator window.

Click the

button to switch to Scanners Configuration.

When you have only one MFP device and it is connected to the
computer and turned on, your scanner appears on the list and is

acquisition is in progress on the first scanner, you may select the
second scanner, set the device options and start the image
acquisition simultaneously.
