This printer does not print colour when I attach it to my laptop running Ubuntu 18.04. Using recommended driver for Samsung C48x series PS.

It works correctly when I print via Windows 7 on the same laptop.

Can anybody tell me what to make it work, printing colour also on Ubuntu?

Open Firefox and type:

http://127.0.0.1:631/

In order to access CUPS and check your default printing settings.

CUPS is the standards-based, open source printing system developed by Apple Inc. for macOS® and other UNIX®-like operating systems.

Assuming you have correctly installed your printer on Ubuntu 18.04 check out this thread open your chosen browser (Firefox, Chromium etc) and in the address bar type http://localhost:631/

This will open up the CUPS utility allowing you to select your printer and modify its defaults.

Select your printer then go to Administration >Set Default Options.

Under Color Mode use the drop down menu to select Color

Alternatively, go to Settings > Devices > Printers and select Additional Printer Settings... at the bottom of the screen right click on the printer and select Properties. Then move down to Job Options and select print-color-mode and select to color. Then click on Apply then OK
