Description of problem: Printer is recognized and connected. However I cannot send even test page to the printer.

SCX-4200 should be supported in SpliX [1], please install splix package and try again. I'll add the printer's device-id to that package next week so it'll be installed automatically when the printer is connected. http://splix.ap2c.org/

I'm having better luck with foo2qpdl on samsung devices that support QPDL.

(In reply to comment #6) > > Has the printer been configured ? Does it print ? Yes as I wrote it helped. I mean the printer had been detected but configured after second plug-in and I was able to print on it than.
