This printer does print in Linux Mint 20.3
All configuration, local in mint, connection to the printers web interface with http:///sws/index.html
handling cups with http://localhost:631/ it works.
Also the root commands with systemctl status|restart|start|stop cups, it works
Same thing in manjaro
Every thing works. Even a print job shows up with “processing”
and then, no prints comes out.
How to investigate ? Who can help ?
If any info needed, please ask and I will provide it
Thanks in advance !

I’m not very familiar with wifi printers, so I may be talking BS…
When you send the print job, is the printer in standby or active idle?
Maybe the printer has to be woken up in order to acknowledge the print job?
What if you plug in the printer via USB cable? Does ist behave normally then?
As far as I’ve read, this printer does not speak PCL nor PS natively, but there is a .ppd file available on github:
Github Page
Or you might want to try the HP driver package for Samsung printers from
HP Support page
Maybe you can compare which driver is used in Mint and Manjaro, just to find ot the difference?
Wuschel (?), thanks for your respons.
BS ? No ! >;-) Great help !
Printer in standby or active idle : it is idle, waiting to accept a print job. It recognizes a job coming in !

Usb cable : have to find my cable again. not done yet. I will come back to it.
This printer does not speak PCL nor PS natively : I don’t know. I’m not good with printers >;-)
.ppd file available on github : Great. Thanks. Downloaded (github_samsung_clp_325.ppd) . What I have done before : copied the one from Linux Mint (/etc/cups/ppd/SamsungPrintervanHans.ppd) on my old laptop to my new laptop, and did install it there, using cups. nothing done yet with github_samsung_clp_325.ppd.
HP driver package for Samsung printers : good possibilty. What I did it removing all printers from my Manjaro. Checked all locations using my root terminal : config gone. And then started a fresh adding a printer. Which works. Including finding the driver. I prefer this. I will keep the HP Site in mind. I will better first try the github ppd file ! And the usb cable option.
Compare which driver is used in Mint and Manjaro : lets check how to do this …
Linux Mint : lpoptions -p SamsungPrintervanHans : Lot of printer config details shows up
Linux Manjaro : lpoptions -p SamsungPrintervanHans : Lot of printer config details shows up
Linux Manjaro : $ pacman -Qs hplip => local/hplip 1:3.25.2-1, Drivers for HP DeskJet, OfficeJet, Photosmart, Business Inkjet and some LaserJet
So far. To be continued soon !
Continued investigating. Removed all printer config, and reinstalled, using the github_samsung_clp_325.ppd file. No issues during installing and configuration. All config and maintenance tools : Proper results. Print test : No print. Now tried with USB Cable. No print. Tried on second laptop running same Manjaro. I had to start the server, as I did with #
systemctl status cups, systemctl start cups, systemctl status cups. Looks good.
Same results, no print.
Printing from any Linux Mint laptop / PC just works. To know : I have assigned a fixed IP to my printer. Network connection from laptops : Wifi. Mint and Manjaro. In the router, and in /etc/hosts. In all computers the same.
Summary : Mint does print, Manjaro doesnt know …
Thanks for the detailed info.
Honestly, I did not use the CUPS Webinterface to set up my printer, but rather used the Manjaro Printer Configuration application.
In case of my Oki C331, which is connected via LAN (also with a fixed IP) Manjaro detected the Oki, I supplied the *.ppd which Oki provides on their website and I’ve had no worries ever since.
I just checked
Manjaro Wiki - Chapter Printing

… but since it does not print, I can only guess that the driver does mess up the print job, so the printer receives a garbled mess it cannot print.
If I am not mistaken, you should be able to pick the printer from the list after you’ve installed the HP driver from the support site. Maybe you want to try that?
Good luck. 
I did all in Printing - Manjaro. Including adding myself in /etc/group in sys.
I didnt know the command "groups’ ! Nice. Easier than “cat /etc/group | grep hans” Thank you.
I’m wondering if “share this computer” has impact, since one of my Linux Mint computers is properly configured, prints, and is always on. Is it bothering the printer configuration on another computer ?
Will have to continue soon.
Now with this all done, and the USB cable is connected, do I need and additional configuration for connecting by USB ?
