Asked by rakesh

Hi Geniuses. I am running Ubuntu13.04i386(32bit) Desktop. My Samsung Laser printer CLP300 was working smoothly till a few days ago on foo2 zjs. But now it refuses to print. Now it does not print at all. On net I came across that this printer needs driver called foo2qpdl. I wanted to know how do I download and instal it. Please. Printer is connected to desktop by wire.Thank you to all you great always helpful people in the team. Any other trick that might work is most welcome.
warm regards
Rakesh.

Ubuntu 13.04 is no longer supported in any way. It is EOL. I suggest you upgrade to a newer supported release.

Hi Actionparsnip, Thank you for your quick response. I had upgraded to ubuntu13.10 earlier. But that started giving me lot of problems,like my sound device started showing as 'dummy' and The system used to freeze and crash frequently.I had to do hard rebooting every time so I went back to ubuntu13.04 which still worked smooth except this problem of printer lately. I will think over 'Upgrading to 13.10. But  More likely I will wait for 14.04 LTS or use/try  (14.04)beta version for present instead of going to Ubuntu13.10. To me 13.10 version was a complete failure. Sorry!

Warm Regards.

Try a clean install of Precise or Saucy. They will allow you to upgrade directly to Trusty in April. Precise is also LTS and supported til April 2017.

Alternatively, you can install the pre-release of Trusty and keep upgrading and you will upgrade seamlessly to the release candidate.

The community cannot support EOL releases.
