    Samsung also has a driver &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.samsung.com/support/productsupport/download/FileView.aspx?cttfileid=303020&amp;type=Printer+and+Multifunction&amp;typecode=&amp;subtype=Black+%26+White+Laser+Printers+for+Home+and+Home+Office&amp;subtypecode=&amp;cmssubtypecode=&amp;model=ML-1610/XAA&amp;filetype=DR&amp;language=&amp;LSSI=/include/SSI/us_left/LMenu_PrinterandMultifunction_BlackWhiteLaserPrintersforHomeandHomeOffice.sec&amp;RSSI=/include/SSI/us_right/RMenu_PrinterandMultifunction.sec&quot;&gt; here&lt;/a&gt; which I didn&apos;t try yet.
&lt;p&gt;

A report on using the Samsung driver and installing this printer on Slackware.&lt;p&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.linuxpackages.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15246&quot;&gt;http://www.linuxpackages.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15246&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;

It works perfectly fine, although there is a peculiar &apos;error&apos; logging in /var/log/cups/error_log - &apos;media tray empty!&apos; after every print job, but it doesn&apos;t seem to affect the printer (or CUPS) at all.&lt;p&gt;
The &apos;media try empty&apos; error message is a bug in CUPS, and is fixed from:&lt;p&gt;

CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.21rc1
        - The USB backend incorrectly reported &quot;media tray
          empty&quot; (STR #660)
&lt;br&gt;===&lt;p&gt;

&lt;em&gt;My experience on Gentoo:&lt;/em&gt;
Samsung offers an tar.gz package, which contains a GUI installer. The installation is quick and flawlessly. You can use CUPS or LPRng as backend. The installer also offers to install a printer management GUI and to integrate that with KDE/Gnome. (This GUI seems to be able to manage other CUPS printers, too; I didn&apos;t try that, however.)&lt;p&gt;

The driver package also contains a set of .ppd files among which is one for the ML-1610, appearently for PS Level 3.&lt;p&gt;

As the installation went smooth and the printer works fine, I&apos;m setting the status to &quot;Perfectly&quot;.&lt;p&gt;
