If it's any help: I bought a Samsung CLP 500 (similar machine) fom PC
World for a client running a Linux network-Red Hat and another for our
office when we found out what a good value printer it was. The box
stated that it was Linux compatible-but no drivers included, only those
for Microsnot Windoze.
Searching on Samsung's web site eventually produced the necessary
drivers. Using SuSe Pro 9.2 it was easy to get the printer working using
the parallel port. The Samsung software partially replaces some of the
CUPS elements and adds shortcuts for configuration and administration.
These worked well.
The printer on Red Hat 9 was attached to a linux server via ethernet and
was installed using a script written by a colleague. It eventually
worked well after my very able colleague had ponderd the correct
installation method, which included deleting and re-installing CUPS with
appropriate amendments for this printer.
I think the Linux Printing newsgroup described it as a paperweight
because it did not print straight out of the box-but various people
wrote in to say that they had it workiing well.
SuSe 9.3 seems to be well supplied with drivers and i exect it will
recognise the Samsung CPL510 in which case a YAST installation should go
through with no trouble.
YAST now understands an ancient Turtle Beach soundcard found in a
skipped computer- whereas 0.2 did not want to know it.
Things are improving.
