How can I install a Pantum 2502W laser printer on Ubuntu
I found the driver "Pantum P2200-P2500 Series Linux Driver ZIP 2014-5-20 1.10" on the manufacturers page here
Downloaded and extracted the contents to my desktop with Archive manager (aka file-roller)
While the archive includes an installation script it fails even after adjusting permissions to make it executable so we navigate to the Resources folder, select the appropriate deb file (in my case i386)
and install it with Software Center acknowledging the warning and continuing to install.
Now open the printers application and choose Add. You should see an option like this:
Choose Forward, edit details if necessary, then click print test page
Congratulations! You've just installed the P2502W laser printer under Ubuntu 14.04
A slight addition in 16.04 if you try to install the driver though software manager nothing happens, I opened a terminal and entered
sudo dpkg -i Pantum-P2500-Series-2.6.x86_64.deb
that fixed it :)
