I have a printer connected to my Ubuntu 14.04 desktop which I share with other computers in my network using Samba. This setup works correctly with Ubuntu machines as well as Windows 8 machines. However I have a windows 7 laptop which detects the printer on the network and configures it but when I print something it prints out a bunch of text Similar to

@PJL COMMENT USERNAME="xyz"
@PJL COMMENT DOCNAME="Test Page"
@PJL SET COPIES=1
@PJL SET COLORMODE=MONO
.......

It prints the similar thing no matter what I print. Also I had installed Fedora 23 some time ago on the machine and setup the printer with it and in that setup the windows 7 machine could print without problems. However Fedora comes with it's own set of problems and going back to it isn't an option.

The printer is Samsung ML 2161. I have the drivers for it installed on the Windows machine and it obviously work on Ubuntu.

Any pointers as to what is wrong here?

The brightness keys don't work on the UX305 so I managed to bind Ctrl+F5/6 to execute

xdotool key --clearmodifiers XF86MonBrightness{Up/Down}

While this works fine and even shows the visual notification but the whole thing feels a little hacky. Is there a way to bind the shortcut to the actual Fn keys? Xev doesn't do anything when you press Fn+F5/6 so thats that....
