Solution 2:

I used a similar method to install a Samsung M2020W (Express).

• Download the driver. (driver for Samsung M2020W)
• Move it to the desktop.
• Extract the folder to the desktop.
• Open a terminal window by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T
• cd Desktop
• cd to the folder (in my case, the folder was called uld).
• Run command sudo ./install.sh.

Agree with all the "y" prompts, and job done. There was no GUI to run.

Added the printer in the usual way.
