Kubuntu: adding the Samsung CLX-6210FX [SOLVED]

1st attempt: printing>>add printer>>network>>selected the Samsung.

Printing searches for the driver then presents a choose driver window.

It recommends Generic.  This takes me to a list of Samsung drivers.

I chose Generic PCL 5e Printer and then Gutenprint v5.2.6 Simplified.

I am then presented with the Printer Properties window for my newly installed printer.

First test print failed because it defaults to Letter (paper size) and I am using A4.

Quick click on Printer options down the left of the window, and change media size to A4, click apply, back to settings, Print Test Page  and BOOM!  We have a newly installed Samsung.

Distro Ubuntu 11.04 – Natty with KDE desktop.
