Samsung ml-1250 Printing stopped

Dear
I am not familiar with Ubuntu. So in case of windows SMART PANEL/EASY PRINTER MANAGER can be down loaded from samsung web this will show the errors that the machine has.

Try to print a self (demo page) pressing stop s/w a while. If it works check the life of toner cart.

Thanks.

I am working on one of these right now for a customer. It is doing nearly the same thing. I am 99% sure it has bad capacitors in the power supply. I have removed the power supply board and found swelled and leaking caps. I will get them replaced to verify, but I am positive that is the solution. Your printer will need either a new/repaired power supply or have your existing power supply board repaired.
Good Luck

Try purging the pending print jobs then try to print again. Go to Printer and Faxes on XP, then right click on your printer icon then select purge print jobs. Or double-click on the printer icon on your system tray (lower right hand of the screen) then click on the pending print jobs then purge it. Then try to print again.

This printer has problems with Leopard last updates.
Contact Apple to see if a patch is available to run the printer on updated Leopard:

Hi, sorry to hear you are having problems,
OK, first of all, you can stop worrying about solution #3, this printer is a USB or Parallel, there is no networking on this printer so no possibility of an AppleTalk connection.
You say you have downloaded the latest version of the driver from the Samsung website.
And, the Mac is connected DIRECTLY to the printer via USB.... ( It won't work if it's connected to a PC and then shared.. well it might work but I have not been able to make this kind of connection work...)
Well, if this is the case and you are unable to print while the PC prints fine, I expect that it is over the Parallel port or do you plug and un-plug between the Mac and PC...
It might be that the printer needs to reset after switching between the Mac and the PC, Shut off the Printer, I mean really, shut it down, unplug it for 30 seconds then connect it to the Mac and restart the Mac and start up the printer....
If it still does not work, do you have another Mac you can connect to for testing?
Also, the first test should not be FireFox, open the Text Edit app and type ( TEST ) and just print that...
Give that a whirl..

Toner in your catridge might be over. Turn off printer. Click Start, settings, printers and faxes. Make sure it is your default printer and double click on it. Cancel all the pending jobs. When everything is deleted close the box and turn the printer on and continue your job.

I had the same problem and spent some time trolling the Net. But....I found it.

Run installer from CD.

Tthen go to system preferences > print and fax

Delete the ml-2510 by clicking the minus square

Click the add square..

Select the ml-2510 again, and make sure that at the bottom of this window, under the "Print Using:" field, you again select the ml-2510.

Click add.

That's it! You're good to go!

I had the same problem and found the solution on the Apple discussion boards. Apparently, OSX 10.4 installs the printer as a Lexmark 510 series, not a Samsung ML-2510.
Just add a new printer and change the type from Lexmark 510 series to ML-2510 series.
Worked a charm for me!

The actual folder in Windows where spooled documents are stored just before printing is: C:\WINDOWS\System32\spool\PRINTERS. I?ve never had print jobs hanging around after the print queue has been deleted but if you clear out anything in this folder that should take care of it. Let us know how things work out and please don?t forget to rate this posting.
