I had some problems to install the Samsung Linux driver in Ubuntu, but I 
figured it out.

- enable root account -> sudo passwd
- enable root account for cups
->sudo adduser cupsys shadow
->sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart

Then run the Samsung install tool
->sudo linux-config

That worked for me. BTW, I have a Samsung CLP-500.

And here are some more instructions:
Here are some more information about the Samsung driver. So, you could
install it then whithout GUI if you backup the right files after the
first "GUI" install.

All files from the Samsung driver can be found at these location:
/usr/local/linuxprinter/
Symlinks are pointing to that:
xbox,root:~# ls -l /usr/lib/cups/filter/
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    40 Jul 23 11:54 ppmtogdi ->
/usr/local/linuxprinter/filters/ppmtogdi
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    41 Jul 23 11:54 ppmtospl2 ->
/usr/local/linuxprinter/filters/ppmtospl2
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    41 Jul 23 11:54 ppmtosplc ->
/usr/local/linuxprinter/filters/ppmtosplc
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    37 Jul 23 11:54 pscms ->
/usr/local/linuxprinter/filters/pscms
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    39 Jul 23 11:54 pstopcl ->
/usr/local/linuxprinter/filters/pstopcl

And one more:
ls -l /etc/linuxprint.cfg
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 38 Jul 24 22:18 /etc/linuxprint.cfg ->
/usr/local/linuxprinter/linuxprint.cfg

You need a correct printers.conf in /etc/cups/
# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.1.21rc1
# Written by cupsd on Sun Dec 26 13:13:25 2004
<DefaultPrinter lp>
Info Samsung CLP-500 Series (SPL-C)
Location
DeviceURI ipp://192.168.71.10/lp3
State Idle
Accepting Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
</Printer>

And the correct ppd file in /etc/cups/ppd
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  9688 Jul 23 11:49 lp.ppd

The ppd file is called lp.ppd because I named the printer lp.

Have fun, Thomas
