Red light blinking, first orange then red, toner blinks green
Samsung ML 2010 After having printed around 150 pages (the printer stopped for a short while after 50 pages and did at one page stopp while printing and after opening the front and closing it he printed again without an error) the printer should print another document (there were quite a few in the queue) but it refused and the online/error button flashed orange than red while sometimes the green toner/save light flashed as well. put out and put in the cartridge, no reaction. the printer is very hot, but we have two ML 2010 printers, after putting the cartridge of the first in the second printer, this printer showed exactly the same signs, flashing lights.

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.

Do you have a new toner cartridge loaded? The red/orange light will blink when toner is low, even if everything else is working fine. Try printing out a test sheet and see what that tells you about your toner level. (Test sheep prints by holding the orange button down a second or two and releasing.)
Since I'm mainly printing drafts for my own use, I've just let the light blink while I eke out whatever I can from the remaining toner (occassionally removing the cartridge and shaking it -- being careful of clothes and surroundings -- to re-distribute the toner on the inside.
This answer may be a bit late but if this flashing of the red and green light is accompanied by a sound of a motor starting and stopping over and over, it is NOT toner, but a defective capacitor in the power supply. Here is a photo of the part that is creating the problem. I am not responsible for any harm done to yourself so please make sure you know what you are doing.
Maybe the toner is low... According to the manual, a blinking red light:
• A minor error is occurring and the printer is waiting for the error to be cleared. When the problem is cleared, the printer resumes printing. • The toner cartridge is low. Order a new toner cartridge. You can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner. See page 8.3. • The toner is totally exhausted. Remove the old toner cartridge and install a new one. See page 8.4. • The toner cartridge reached the end of its life.
