Doesn't the OS detect the printer when it is connected or is it a driver 
problem?
Does any thing show up on your screen if you are monitoring your system logs 
at the time you connect the printer? Try the following:
tail -f /var/log/kern.log
And then plug in the printer. Does anything show up in the log? What?
If the printer is detected when it is connected and still does not work, maybe 
it is a driver problem.
Samsung usually provides good Linux drivers for their printers at their 
website. Have you tried them?
