Yes,

1. On the monochrome printers like yours, the "gdi" driver which is 
built into GhostScript works fine with simple documents: text, some 
graphics, ... On more complicated documents it can run into problems 
easily. SpliX prints all types of documents correctly and also supports 
more printer features.

2. There are also non-PostScript color printers from Samsung, they get 
support by free software for the first time with the SpliX driver.
