I upgraded to Ubuntu 18.4 and my Samsung ML2545 printer stopped working. Can't find a driver for it on the OS itself, can't find one at Samsung, HP, or elsewhere on the net. Does anyone know of a source, or do I have a brick on my hands?

if you go here https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/samsung-ml-2545-laser-printer-series/19134776 you can see a link to download and SAVE the compressed ULD (unified linux driver) that Samsung provide for their devices; you can see HP host this now;

it comes down as uld_V1.00.39_01.17.tar.gz

so if you open a terminal; copy each command below and paste each command into the terminal; hit ENTER after each paste

cd Downloads

tar -zxvf uld_V1.00.39_01.17.tar.gz

cd uld

sudo ./install.sh

and that should install the needed;
