To print on a networrk you must have a network enabled printer. Either a wireless connection or a wired connection will do. Does your printer have a network connector next to the USB port in the back? If so, then you can connect it to the network and, with the proper setup, print to it. However, if you do not then you do not have a network enabled printer and cannot connect it to the network.

If you have a network enabled printer you must first connect it to your network. To do this you must first attach a network cable to the printer and to the router you are using. Once you do that and turn the printer on it you should be able to access the printer. Installing the Samsung Control Panel will tell you if the printer is available. It should find the printer during setup and that should be all there is to it.

If the printer cannot be found then either it is defective or the route from your system to the printer is crossing a network gateway. A gateway is a place where two networks join. Each has a different IP address. If there is a router between your system and the printer, and if the printer is attached to a different router then there is a gateway between your system and the printer. You need to plug the printer into one of the LAN ports of the router and your system into one of the other LAN ports on the same router. Once you do that, assumming you are using DHCP (which almost everybody does) the two should see each other. Re-install the software and it should find the printer. If it does not, call Samsung because something is amiss.

You can manually start the print spooler:
1) Open the Start menu. If you're using XP, click on Run. If you're on Vista/7, click on the empty box at the bottom of the menu.
2) Type services.msc and press Enter.
3) Find the Print Spooler service, right click on it, and press Start.
4) Check the startup column; it should say Automatic. If it doesn't, right click on the spooler service, select Properties, and change the Startup type to Automatic.

The problems you checked are indicated by a blinking red light (it denotes minor errors). A solid red light usually means that one of the toners is exhausted. If you look in the task bar, there's a little blue S; double click on this to launch Smart Panel, our monitoring software. It will tell you the specific error message.

If one of the toners is showing empty already, are you sure this wasn't a used model or possibly a display unit that people would have been printing on?

replace the paper sensor.

Remove cartridges and clean the inside of printer with aerosal air. This should take care of problem

Sounds like a problem has occurred with the printer driver -- the driver did not properly install, the driver somehow become corrupted after the install, or the printer driver is set to the wrong printer port on the computer. Try uninstalling the driver and reinstalling the driver. If you are installing the printer as a local printer (printer is connected to a computer by a USB printer cable) try to connect the printer to a different USB port on the Windows or Macintosh computer before reinstalling the printer. Windows users: 1) Click on the Windows Start button and then All Programs. 2.) Look for a folder under All Programs called 'CLP-310 Series' (folder may also be called 'Samsung Printers') 3.) Under that folder open the Maintenance program. 4.) Click on remove and click next. 5.) Select the printer driver and all other components listed in the Select Components box and click next. 6.) Click Finish. Mac users: 1.) Open System Preferences and then Print and Fax. 2.) Click once on the printer icon to highlight the printer and then click on the minus sign to remove the printer. 3.) Click on the plus sign in the Print and Fax window 4.) Click on default and then add the printer.

the paper sensor overheats. Replace

There is a known issue with some Samsung printers and Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6.4) due to changes in the printing system. Apple issued an update to fix the issue; to make sure you have it, click on the apple in the upper left corner of the screen and select Software Update. If you haven't installed the update yet, you should see it there.

If the update is already installed, the next step I'd suggest is to open System Preferences, go to Printers and Faxes, control-click on any printer in the list, and select 'Reset Printing System'. After that is done you will need to reinstall the printer using the latest drivers from www.samsung.com

The CLT-K409S/XAA is the proper replacement toner for the unit.

Make sure that the toner is genuine:
1.) Confirm that the Toner and the packaging the Toner came in carries the Samsung logo
2.) Confirm that the Toner and the packaging the Toner came in are not labeled as "Refurbished" or "Reconditioned"
(Refurbished or reconditioned toner is not guaranteed to work with your printer. Refurbished or Reconditioned toner will usually show signs of physical damage. For example, worn or damaged screws, visible use of adhesives, surface scratches, etc.)
3.) Confirm that the Toner has a CRUM (Customer Replaceable Unit Monitor) chip (If the toner does not have a CRUM chip its either a starter Toner or Not Genuine)
4.) Confirm that the Toner has a Samsung Model and Serial Number label
(Network Printer) Confirm that the Model and Serial number of the Toner appear in SyncThru web service.

If the toner is a genuine Samsung Toner, try the following: First, turn off the printer and unplug the unit. On the toner cartridge is a contact area where the toner's CRUM chip makes contact with another contact area on the printer's door. Remove the toner cartridge and use a dry lint free cloth to clean the contact area on the toner cartridge and on the printer. Put the cartridge back into the unit and close the door. Plug the unit back in and turn on the unit.
If the toner still shows as invalid, contact Samsung support at 1-800-SAMSUNG
