printer driver Samsung SCX4623f

2012-05-15 Thread Johan Scheepers
Good day, Got a Samsung SCX 4623f printer. It seems that Debian 6.05 does not have a driver for it. Debian 7 testing, ubuntu 12.04, linux mint 2012.04, installs it automatically. What would be the way to install it. 1) Samsung unified driver ?. 2) Something from the repo' s? Thanks Joha
