Samsung ML-3710ND Printer

This old but wonderful printer only has a USB interface; it is linked to the wireless network via a raspberry PI running CUPS

Please don't unplug the Pi, or USB link, unless you need to and for some reason REALLY cannot make it work over the network; if you do please put it all back together.

to connect wirelessly:

• windows 7:
  • check connection by putting into a browser url: http://192.168.5.183:631/printers/Samsung_Samsung_ML-371x_Series
  • open add devices and printers
  • click add a printer
  • add a network, wireless or bluetooth printer
  • click the printer i want isnt listed
  • under select shared printer by name type: http://192.168.5.183:631/printers/Samsung_Samsung_ML-371x_Series
  • BAM! printer added.
  • if you have a problem try typing into the start menu “services” and click on services
  • go to “print spooler”. right clik it and select stop. then right click and select start.
  • try adding the printer again now.
  • You will also need to ensure that the “Internet Printing Client” enabled, more details here: https://zedt.eu/tech/windows/installing-an-ipp-printer-in-windows-10/

• MAC:
  • The printer should appear automatically; check http://localhost:631 (your CUPS server) if in doubt.
  • Finding a driver that works has proven problematic; try http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/COL39819/Raster-39/macOS_HP_DesignJet_Raster_Driver.dmg and please update this wiki with any success you may have…..
• LINUX:
  • If you have Avahi-daemon or a similar bonjour / zero conf setup (Debian, Ubuntu, etc) it should appear.
  • If you do not, add an IPP printer according to your distribution instructions using: http://192.168.5.183:631/printers/Samsung_Samsung_ML-371x_Series as the URL.
