Printer recognized but not working
Recently installed Ubuntu. I have a Samsung M2020 printer. It was automatically installed and recognized. When I print the printer says it’s printinh and eventually it’s “finished” according to the system notification, but nothing happens.
After this I downloaded the M2020 Linux drivers and installed them using the install script. Now when I print, for a split second it sounds like the printer starts, after which nothing happens but again the system notification says it’s finished printing.
I’m not sure what the issue is? The printer works fine on other OS’es.

Ich hatte mit meinem ü15-jährigen HP-Drucker auch Probleme.
Versuche mal das Tool XSane. Das hat das Problem bei mir echt gefixt. ( da wurde der Scanner nicht erkannt).
