How-To: Setup up the Samsung CLX-3160

The Samsung CLX-3160 is a color workgroup printer that has the ability to scan, fax, copy, and print. It is a pretty good printer, but the drivers provided for the printer really are just designed to be used when connected to USB. Well thats just WONDERFUL for a printer that is designed to be used over the network right? So as opposed to complaining, lets solve the problem for any of you that needs this for the future.
1) Open the CUPS web app on your machine (yeah surprised me to)
http://localhost:631
2) Click on the Administration Tab
3) Click on Find New Printers so that the CUPS server will be able to find your printer over the network. If it find it, skip to the test page stuff
4) More than likely it didn't find your printer so click on Add New Printer. Enter a Name, Location and Description for this printer. Doesn't matter what you pick really so long as you follow the comments and don't use forbidden characters. Click on Continue.
5) On the next screen it will ask you for the Device (which is really asking for the protocol) and you want to select the IPP (Internet Printing Protocol). Don't select the Http version!
6) The next screen is asking for your Device URI. To get this, go to the Printer and on the Menu go to the Network Settings.
Menu Button > Network > Network Info > Print > Yes
A page will then print on the printer containing the details you need
On this page there will be a Printer URI (i.e. http://10.0.1.4:631), enter this into the Device URI box and press continue.
For the Make select Samsung, Press continue.
On the Model select CLS-3160 Series and press Add Printer.
The next screen lists the default printer options. Select whatever options you want and then press any of the Set Printer Options buttons.
You will now see the printer setup in the browser. If you go over to the Printer dialog in System Preferences you will see the printer there as well. Before you leave this screen though, press the Print Test Page button.
Give it a few seconds to print.
You're done. Enjoy!

Finally!!!! Someone that could fix my problem. I called Microsoft, Apple, and Samsung, and none of them could figure out why Print Preview would not work or why my Samsung CLX-3160 would print blanks.
I upgraded to Mac Office 2008 expecting that Leopard did not work well with 2004 Office. The problem remained. I was just about ready to backup everything and spend the day doing a full clean install of everything. Then I found your thread.
After HOURS trying other solutions and listening to each company blame the other, your solution fixed me up. A million thanks.

  • I need a driver to my Samsung CLX-3160 AND ML-3051 printers

    I need a driver to my Samsung CLX-3160 AND ML-3051 printers. I haven't found needed drivers anywhere. Do I have to return to Lion (10.6.)?!

    Samsung does not appear to have updated the drivers for those printers since 2009 for the 3160 and 2008 for the 3051, so if the 10.6 drivers don't work in 10.8, then absent some additional workaround from Samsung or someone else here, you'll either need to revert back to Mac OS X 10.6 or buy newer printers.

  • Can't install the software for the Samsung CLX-3180 Series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.

    I am getting the identical error message for an HP Officejet 7200 series printer.
    First there is a message that software is available from Apple.  You click to get it.  Then it tells you that it is not currently available from the software update server.
    I am running OS 10.8.2.  Printer is on my home network (not USB).
    I went to the Apple Software Dowload site and re-downloaded the latest "HewlettPackard Printer Drivers" (v.2.12) and installed them (twice).  No dice.
    Anybody found a way around this problem?
    I solved all print related issues by avoiding HP, worst software I ever saw, this may not work for you though.

  • Please help: How to setup/use the ChartRenderer?

    Hi,
    i have a view object with 3 columns: orderdate(date), emp (varchar2), numcontracts (number)
    and i want to display this data in a 2D-Chart, where x=orderdate, y=numcontracts and i want to have a serie/line for each emp.
    Question:
    a) Which graphtype should i use?
    b) How should i bind the data (Attribut order)?
    Is the following correct?
    c.setDisplayAttributes("orderdate,numcontracts");
    c.setSeriesLabelColumnName("emp");
    Thanx,

    Marc Marc,
    Try vertical absolute line, see if that's what you are looking for --> c.getChart().setGraphType(c.VERTICAL_ABSOLUTE_LINE);
    As far as order, are you talking label order or data order (if data, are you using bc4j)?
    Here is an example for setting your data:
    c.getChart().setSeriesAreRows(false); // controls data display
    c.setSeriesLabelColumnName("LabelText"); // your label column
    c.setDisplayAttributes("date,numContracts"); // this is your data
    Hope that helps.

  • How to setup the connection between non-unicode client and unicode server?

    hi.
    we played the program in 4.6x that call a data from unicode server (ECC6.0) to non-unicode server.  ( not played in the unicode server.)
    When a program ended that English Character was normal, but Korean Chinease... was unknown text.
    I think conversion from unicode to non-unicode is a main reason.
    General Notes are issued for the unicode side rfc connection configuration.
    but, i want to know how to setup into the non-unicode system to interface with unicode system.
    I hope your great answer.

    Hi,
    For taht you have to deploy korean and chinese langauges seprately on non unicode system.Then try to connect to the unicode system.It will work for you.

    I??ve got a U400 which was equipped with the Intel graphic card and I??ve got an external LCD which I have connected to the U400 using the DVI-to-HDMI cable.
    My U400 unit supports the HDMI and the LCD the DVI port.
    I have received also the driver disk with my LCD and I have installed the software.
    I have also update the Intel driver and used one from the Intel page.
    Now I have the access to many different external resolutions and can choose it.

  • How to print double sided with macbook pro on Samsung CLX-3180?

    Hi,
    I recently switched to using a macbook pro but cannot figure out how to print double sided/two-sided.
    The printer I am using is Samsung CLX-3180 and it allows double-sided printing. I was able to do this with my windows computer previously.
    The frustrating thing is that I see the two-sided feature but I cannot figure out how to turn it on. There is no option to change it.
    It is listed here.
    First, I go to "show presets."
    Then, I click on "copies & pages" but I cannot turn it on.
    Does anyone know how to turn it on?
    Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi nat.the.musical,
    If you are having issues selecting two-sided printing from the Print window, you may find the following article helpful (it is aimed at Mountain Lion, but should also apply to Mavericks):

    The resolution available with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter is 1920 x 1200. VGA displays that use higher refresh rates (such as 85 Hz) at resolutions of 1600 x 1200 or greater may not generate video properly until you lower the refresh rate.

    If the detect displays option is not available, hold down the Option key while you are in the Display pane.
    How do I select additional resolutions on my display?
    You can use the Display pane of System Preferences to specify how your display works. Not all options appear for all display models. By default the best resolution for your display will already be selected in System Preferences.
    To select a different resolution, use the Scaled option. Some additional resolutions may be available when you hold the Option button.

    how do you fix the 2 to 3 second delay on hearing somones voice when answering the iphone 5 this happens on lots of  iphone 5s with differant carriers so its not one carriers problem its probably apples this is unacceptable on such an expensive phone and very irratating. my last cheap samsung t mobile 50 dollar pre pay never did this,im new in my  contract an will take the phone back if i have to put up with this for 2 years.other than that huge problem i love the phone. i dont understand why this did not get covered like the maps problem,cause its a lot of phones and its probably an ios problem.

    Wow!
    I'm not going to be of much use regarding answers but I sure am going to watching this post like a hawk for any replies. My package is a slightly diluted version of this and I do find the BBtalk and data limits hard to make the most of as well.
    If nothing else this totally highlights how complicated BT have managed to make their packages.
