I understand that ghostscript has advanced beyond 8.71 but, in fact, 8.71 is necessary to fix the problem. The original link is bad, but you can google up foo2qpdl and 'GHOSTSCRIPT BUGS'. And this is all documented, in fact, including the number '8.71'. This bug literally requires version 8.71, not 9.52 and it literally requires it be installed under the filename 'gs.foo', solely to work around unfixed ghostscript bugs that keep it from working. Mageia 8, still having the problem (though the cups upstream bug was fixed). Unfortunately, on Mageia 7.1, Samsung's driver doesn't work because of. Using the proprietary Samsung 4.0 driver from (don't try the ones on Samsung's own site) should also work it worked in previous Mageia versions. Steps 2 and 3 are both required the result is still a little too dark, but at least readable.
Put this file in /usr/share/foo2qpdl/icm. This is a known ghostscript bug (see under 'GHOSTSCRIPT BUGS'), and foo2qpdl-wrapper specifically looks for the name 'gs.foo' as a substitute version of gs to avoid the bug.ģ) Get the ICM profile for the printer by searching for samclp315-argyll-0.icm (which I believe is not a file Mageia can legally distribute).
2) Install a version of Ghostscript 8.71 ( ) as /usr/bin/gs.foo.
