I had a similar problem on a mac when printing multiple pages. The second page would have single color images that should have been on the first page. This happened even when printing two different files in sequence, two one page pdfs, the second page would have a ghost of the 1st page, and not aligned correctly.
Samsung support walked me though driver reinstall.

Open system preference open printer and fax
1) delete printer icon by clicking on samsung printer then click minus
2) reboot
3) install driver from from the link they sent me (apparently different then one on their website)
4) reboot

On a second Mac I installed the "technician provided driver" over the "web site provided driver" and it worked without a reboot, so I know they function differently. I also know technically both are web site provided drivers, I just had to make some we kind of distinction.

I actually didn't buy a new toner waste bin. I emptied all the powder ink inside (do into a waste bag, with no wind blowing, it's.....messy). After that, I rinsed the inside with clear cold water. I left the unit to dry out, upside down by a fan. The next day I reinstalled and it worked fine. There is a sensor, located above the toner waste bin. When the bin is full, light can not pass thru and you get the error message. Try this next time...doesnt cost a dime!

You will need to print out a configuration report to find the IP address for the printer. The printer's IP address will be listed on the configuration report. To print a configuration report do the following:
Printing Configuration report
1. Press Menu until System Setup appears on the bottom line of the
display and press OK.
2. Press the left/right arrow until Report appears and press OK.
3. Press the left/right arrow until Network Info. appears and press OK.
4. Press OK when Yes appears to confirm printing.
Network Configuration Report will then be printed out.

Question

How do I solve network printer issue

I am using this multifunction device for about a month now and I first had a problem with a paper jam that i could not solve on my own but that is not an issue anymore. Now I have another problem. I am using the device as a local printer connected to a utp cable that goes through a residential gateway but since i have reset the router (unplugged it from charger) it doesn't work anymore. It says that media is disconneted and status lights on the router won't lit. I can't find a way to solve this problem. I tried to reinstall the software but it won't find ip adress of the printer so I can't install it as a local printer.
I browsed internet to find threads regarding this matter and I found out that I'm not the only one having this problem but no one seems to know how to solve it. So please, help me out because I'm getting tired of solving problems with this device. I previously had hp laser printer and had absolutely no problems with it so I'm seriously thinking about swapping this device for a device from other manufacturer.
Thanks in advance.

It sounds like the default settings you reset the router to might have that network jack disabled. If you can get into the router's settings, you will want to look for Ethernet port settings and make sure they're all enabled.

To rule out the network jack on the printer being bad, you should try a different cable first (in case the one you're using is bad), then if that doesn't fix it, try plugging the printer into the cable or dsl modem directly.

The imaging unit is a consumable item for the printer. It has a lifespan of 24, 000 B&W pages, and 6,000 color pages. If the imaging unit has reached its lifespan, the printer will not print until the imaging unit has been replaced. When printing a color page, one page will be run over the imaging unit for each color printed on the page. This means that sometimes the imaging unit can reach it's lifespan before 6,000 actually pages have been printed.

Question

Why is my printer missing ink on the pages?

I couple months ago changed the image rolling thingy (you guys sent it to me- looks like a blue steam roller) but starting this week when I print part of the image is missing looks like thin stripes missing down the off center of the page. These "strips" appear to change location & vary in how light or dark their print is. The cartridge has heavy toner on both ends and where its missing picture in the print is also missing toner on the toner cartridge. (ink jet printer). any ideas?

This one took me back to the manual to figure out. To scan a legal document to USB, insert the USB memory stick like normal. When the display reads "Ready to Scan to USB" hit the Menu button (the top of the round circle above the OK button.) It should display 1. Scan Feature. Click the OK button (the center of the circle). It will then say USB Feature, click the OK button again. It will then say Scan Size, click the OK button again. It will show Letter as the default size. Click the right-side of the outer circle. It will show legal. Click the OK button. Then click the bottom of the outer circle several times to back out of the menu. Then when it again says "Scan to USB", click the start button and you'll have a legal size scan.

OSX Lion driver

I have a CLX-3175FN. Does OSX Lion require new drivers for printing and scanning or can I just use the ones posted? Also, the current drivers do not seem capable of delivering full resolution on scanning (4800dpi), is there any way to get this to work under OS X?

Huh, that's strange, my 3175 does have a sheetfeeder, on the top of the outside. Whenever I scan documents it asks if I want to store it as a JPEG or PDF. To scan to a PDF I simply stack all the papers on the sheet feeder, select PDF as format, and click start. Does that not work for you?

can you reuse a toner waste bin if you empty it

I need to use my printer, the waste bin is full, and I can't find a new toner waste bin today. If I empty the toner and reinstall, will it print. I've done that but the printer keeps saying install toner waste bin.

I did this myself, but I found I had to wash out the toner waste bin with water, let it dry overnight, and then re-install it. I think it's trying to look with an optical sensor into the bin and the dust from the previous toner was causing a false reading of the bin still being full. After washing and drying it used the old bin fine.
