@chris, just re-did the update. Looking good and works!

@gschwarz, @elfabre: Fixed the symlink to /usr/share/cups/model/uld-samsung -> ../../ppd/suld. I hope it works out of the box now!

I can also confirm that /opt/samsung is not needed. But /opt/smfp-common/printer/lib -> /usr/lib is crucial, without does not work. And, of course, /usr/share/cups/model/uld-samsung --> /usr/share/ppd/suld is crucial as well.

@gschwarz Your comment was just 2 min b4 mine, not a chance to read it! Continuing my steps: 5) Created soft link /usr/share/cups/model/uld-samsung --> /usr/share/ppd/suld 6) Removed completely the /opt/samsung directory 7) Restarted Cupsd 8) Printing works and with the right colors. You got it!

I think this is because /usr/share/cpus/model/uld-samsung was missing or did not point to the appropriate directory.

@christoph.gysin Thanks for the update but, it did not work! This is what I did: 1) I run the HP script uninstall-printer.sh which removed, as expected, both /opt/samsung and /opt/smfp-common 2) Printing does not work anymore even after restarting Cupsd 3) Updated samsung-unified-driver-common and samsung-unified-driver-common which, as expected, recreated /opt/samsung and /opt/smfp-common that contain just soft links 4) Restarted Cupsd, printing works but I am back to the crappy color and blurred black

Unfortunately this was not the fix (my fault). Instead of /opt/samsung, which is not needed, use a link from /usr/share/cpus/model/uld-samsung to ../../ppd/suld (i.e. to /usr/share/ppd/suld; use the absolute path if you think this is more appropriate). (in Samsung's package, /usr/share/cpus/model/uld-samsung is a link to /opt/samsung/printer/share/ppd which apparently is the only place where that path is still used)

@gschwarz Thanks for helping getting this fixed! I added another symlink from /opt/samsung/printer/share/ppd -> /usr/share/ppd/suld, can you check if that fixes the issue?

First of all, thanks for taking on this issue. As expected from my previous investigations, the one link is not sufficient. One also needs to create /opt/samsung/printer/share and there create a symlink named ppd to /usr/share/ppd/suld. So far I have not found out which component is looking there (probably for the cms files).

(yes, /usr/opt was a mere typo)
