When I startup my printer, it starts with "system initialization" (I translate from French). The initialization goes well up to 94%, and then it freezes, no matter what I try. The thing is that the printer is at that point not yet connected to the LAN-network, so I cannot reach it from my PC. How to get around this?

Thank you very much for your suggestions

         Hello aquaconseil-tve, 

 

 

 

Samsung SL-C2680 Series Firmware File

V6.C6.04409.9 MBSep 1, 2017Download

 

 

            My Tutorial : (1)

 

Uninstall the old driver in Control Panel, "Programs and Features", then remove

all occurrences related to your printer name, in Program and X86 Program, and then in

configuration, right click on your old printer (If it's still there, chances are it's not there anymore)

''Delete'' if present.

Restart the PC, connect the printer to the mains, connect a USB cord on the PC side, on the printer you

will connect during installation ONLY when prompted.

Start installing your printer, by right-clicking on the Setup. downloaded driver exe, installed ''en

as administrator'', OK, let the installation take place, at the end of the installation,    restart the PC.

To create a shortcut on the Windows desktop, open Control Panel, right-click on your

new printer, create shortcut, on the desktop, yes.

A new shortcut has been created on the Windows desktop.

Go to the desktop, click on this new shortcut, to open the new operation menu of your printer.

Turn on your printer, print a test page.

That's it, your printer is working again.

Thank you very much for your quick reply Bernard. I'm not sure it will work, because the printer starts "initializing system" when I switch it on, and simply freezes at 94%. It does not matter whether I connect it to the network or not, the system initialization siply does not advance anymore see picture below.

Would you have any other ideas?
