Solution
1. Ensure that ECP (best) or SPP is selected in the
CMOS (BIOS) setup.
2. Ensure that the correct driver is loaded. Use the
driver supplied on the CD or downloaded from the
Samsung web site. DO NOT use the Microsoft
driver supplied with the Windows operating system.
If the printer is a GDI or SPL type printer ensure that
ALL OTHER GDI or SPL drivers are uninstalled as
Windows allows only 1 of this type of driver to be
loaded.
3. Delete any unnecessary files to secure enough
space on the hard disk and start the print job again.
