[SOLVED] Samsung SL-C430W refuses to print test page USB/Ethernet/WiFi Debian 10.

I haven’t been able to find any CUPS 2.2.12 .deb package to use for a manual upgrade...

Ok, that reads like progress, so the VPN was the cause of this connectivity issue.

FWIW, many admins prefer assigning static IP addresses to printers (and other peripheral devices) on the LAN. However, if you manage the DHCP server (often provided by the router in SOHO environments), then best to leave the printer as DHCP assigned address, and use IP address reservation in the router itself. Easier to manage from one place than from each device.

Now (without the VPN active), what is reported by lpstat?

Code:

lpstat -t

Also, can you now print a test page successfully?

I couldn't find it in buster-backports and testing has 2.3.3op1-7...

Ok, your feedback here concurs with this bchemnet.com thread...

This problem is related to the CUPS issue reported here:
https://github.com/apple/cups/issues/5562

The gist is that CUPS is making changes that are not compatible with the Samsung drivers. CUPS 2.2.11 has recently been patched to restore working behavior for Samsung printers, but there is no guarantee that will remain true. Debian inherited the problematic change in 2.2.10-4 and it may remain as of 2.2.10-6. If you are using a Debian-based distribution and still have this problem, report it to the bug tracker and reference the CUPS issue above.

This is all related to a complete change in the way that CUPS handles printer drivers, as described here:
https://www.cups.org/blog/2018-06-06...velopment.html

The gist is that printers that do not use IPP, and/or that use custom drivers such as the Samsung driver, and at risk of no longer working after CUPS 2.3 is released (although they will likely continue working for some unknown amount of time after the initial release). Some of the newer Samsung-branded printers support IPP, so will not necessarily be affected by the changes. I do not know what the long-term implications are for continuing to provide this repository and the associated drivers.

Yes, although I get the following errors when I open "print settings - localhost":

Code:

Option 'orientation-requested' has value '0' and cannot be edited.
Option 'print-quality' has value '0' and cannot be edited.

As long as the print job is successful, is that really a problem though?

No. To recap, here is where I am at. I have reconfigured my firewall so that I can successfully print either using WiFi or Ethernet without any problems. However, my VPN blocks contact to my printer either using WiFi or Ethernet. I have tried

Code:

$ nordvpn whitelist add subnet 192.168.0.0/24

but now I get

Code:

$ ping SEC8425197B7B79.local
ping: SEC8425197B7B79.local: Name or service not known

rather than

Code:

$ ping SEC8425197B7B79.local
PING SEC8425197B7B79.local (192.168.0.103) 56(84) bytes of data.
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted

Not sure what to do about that, and I need my VPN enabled, whenever my computer is on. With the printer connected to my computer with a USB cable, I continue to get an SPL ERROR: 11-1114 error code.

OK, got it. The problem was that I had used a different whitelist configuration, removed it, and then used the above command to add to the whitelist, and didn't reboot before I tried pinging again. Now that I have rebooted the system, everything seems to be working fine when using WiFi or Ethernet. I have my firewall, I have my VPN and I can print. No USB connection, but I can live with this. I will mark this solved. Thanks for all the help, ferrari.
