Oh no, problems still. Unfortunately Fedora Core 5 does not know that a
printer like Samsung ML-2010 excists.
With the printer I got a CD including data to do the installation in Linux.
Should be easy with "Linux distributions : Redhat 6.x, Mandrake 7.x, SuSE
6.x, Debian 2.2, Caldera OpenLinux 3.x, TurboLinux, Slackware 7.x,
Linux/PPC, Yellow Dog, and newer versions." But the advice is too difficult
to me. I greatly appreciate your help!
I include the README.txt here:
Linux Printing Package Release Candidate
----------------------------------------
The Linux Printer Package is an integrated suite of utilities for the Linux
operating system, allowing you to configure and manage Linux laser printers
in a user-friendly way.
SUPPORTED CONFIGURATIONS
------------------------
- Linux distributions : Redhat 6.x, Mandrake 7.x , SuSE 6.x, Debian 2.2,
Caldera OpenLinux 3.x, TurboLinux, Slackware 7.x, Linux/PPC, Yellow Dog,
and newer versions.
- Linux kernel 2.2 and up
- GNU Libc version 2.1 and up
Requirements :
- GTK+ 1.2 libraries ; these usually come with the GNOME desktop
environment,
but if your distribution didn't install those by default, you will need to
install them before you can use the graphical tools from this package.
- A working Ghostscript installation
- CUPS 1.1.x is the preferred printing system for this package, but the
Linux Package will accommodate any other printing system based on LPD.
CUPS 1.1.14 packages are provided as a convenience with this program, and
can
be installed or upgraded from the installer. However, users of Debian and
Slackware distributions should make sure they have an active printing
system
(such as LPD) before proceeding with the installation.
INSTALLATION
------------
You need to be logged in as the super-user (root) to be able to install this
package.
- Run the 'setup.sh' script on the CDROM to launch the installation program,
if the installer didn't start automatically upon insertion of the CDROM
in
your drive.
- You may choose either the "Recommended" or "Expert" types of installation.
"Recommended" is fully automated and won't require any interaction on your
part. It will install the product under /usr/local/linuxprinter.
The "Expert" installation allows you to fine-tune these settings and
choose
where the package will be installed.
- Once the installation is done, you will be offered the option to start the
Configuration Tool, which allows to install and configure new Linux
printers
into your Linux system.
- The configuration tool can later be launched by using the 'linux-config'
command, or through the menu item that may have been added to your Gnome /
KDE
menus.
GETTING MORE HELP
-----------------
Complete Online help is available through the configuration tool. Click on
the
"Help" button in the dialogs.
UNINSTALLATION
--------------
To remove this package, you can use the 'linux-uninstall' command, or choose
"Uninstall" in the File menu from the Configuration Tool.

I had a similar problem with ML-1610, but I managet to make it work
installing a different printer (i.e. ML-1710) that uses same driver.
The installation of PPD from Samsung CD didn't make the printer work!!!
