Looking for Answers about samsung CLP-300/DSL?

I have a laser printer CLP 300. The black toner fades on the left side and thru the middle. How can I fix problem The black toner level still showed it had about 25% left. I bought another one to see if it would fix problem .. it did not.

Unfortunately the printer will need service if it was interrupted during a firmware update.

The printer is not designed to need oiling; if you are hearing constant squeaking then an internal part such as one of the rollers may be wearing out.

can I use my clp300 to copy documents

Sure you can just download the windows 7 driver. I've been using windows 7 since it came out with this printer.

Here is how I was able to fix it:
1. Go into the Smart Panel | Printer Setting
2. Click on Graphic in the left box and then click on "Color Adjustment"
3. This will open up the "Manual Color Adjustment" Window
- Click on "Printer Default"
- Click on Apply
- Click on Close
4. Click on Exit
5. Try printing (make sure you go into the Graphic tab in printer properties and have it set to print in color )

Hope this will help you :)

The light is red on the printer and the printer won't print or it will print two pages and then stop

When the status LED is flashing red, it means there is some minor error(i.e. the front door isn't latched shut, paper is jammed, etc) or the toner is getting low.

Double click on Smart Panel (the blue S in the task bar...it's installed with the driver) and it will tell you what the error is. For future reference, you can download the manual at our support site: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/CLP-300

I had the same thing. Needed to replace blue toner cartridge.

Since you are using Windows 7, the printer driver currently installed in the computer may not be compatible with the Windows 7 platform. At this point, you may visit the website and download the driver set that is compatible with Windows 7 Operating System and then install accoridng to the instructions.

Alternatively, you may ask for a windows 7 OS compatible driver set from your printer supplier.

It means something is wrong. Paper jam, out of ink etc.

Try taking a cotton cloth wet with plain water, take out the paper tray and wash the black rubber feeding disk in the middle of the back. It is easy accessible by just lifting the machine up to show the open bottom of the machine. The piece is about 1" wide and I think it gets paper residue on it and then will not pick up the paper. Just use water nothing else.

Install the Samsung Smart Panel software. That gives you the pop up window.
