[CoLoCo] Help with Samsung SCX-4623FW/XAA B&W laser printer

[David Overcash]

Chuck,
I used to have a Samsung laser printer - and I'm not sure if it was my
computer or Linux or what - but I noticed that, after setting up the
printer, if I changed the USB port it was plugged into it would stop
working.  Go figure?  So I plugged it back into the one I had it in when I
installed it, restarted the computer, and it worked like a charm.

That being said - that happened 4 years ago - and I doubt the same bug would
still be floating around Ubuntu.

Have you tried simply removing the printer and re-installing it with one of
the drivers at the link Nelson sent?

-David
