To check if everything OK with your printing system do the following:

  1. Open Configurator.
  2. Switch to Printers configuration.
  3. Select desired printer in the printers list.
  4. Click Test... button.
  5. Make sure Check printer, Test device and backend and Print test page is checked.
  6. Click Start button. Testing printer dialog pops up.
  7. Check Checking driver..., Checking port... and Printing test page... are flagged with "OK". 
  8. Check test page has been printed.

What is going on?

During testing phases Samsung MFP driver software checks:

  1. if the device you select in printer's list is still available in CUPS database and is active (you can print to the printer)
  2. if specified MFP device port is available
  3. if device is  properly connected and switched on.

In case any step fails further testing cancels and corresponding error message is shown.
