Linux Printer Setup Samsung CLP-510

I am new to Linux. I have installed the linux printer driver provided by Samsung in the KDE Control Center but when I print a test page nothing prints. Linux says "Test page was successfully sent to the printer." I don't even get an error message. I can print a test page from the LCD panel on the printer so I know the printer is working. I have tried printing from a text document but that didn't work either. I also have the same problem with my Canon i350 printer. I am just trying to print locally not through a network connection. How do I get my printer to print a test page?

I have managed to get my printer to print through my network using Samba and Windows. I still can't print locally from Linux. When I open the print queue on windows I am not able to see any print jobs while printing. I get an access denied error message when I try to pause or stop print jobs from windows. What should I do to make the print jobs visible and be able to stop and start them in the print queue?

Are you using cups? If so have you tried configuring it by going to http://127.0.0.1:631 in a web browser? You should be able to print a test page from there.
