I've got a Samsung ML4500 B&W which works out of the box with Suse and a
CLP500 colour. Samsung definitely provide support for this (I quote their
helpline "I'll get our Linux guru to call you back"), but its not a simple
driver file - its a whole new print program install which also takes
conrol of the ML4500. I got it working, but it wasnt as simple as I'd
hoped, but their support line was excellent.
