I suspect you are right. However the suggestion regarding the demo page
from the printer (not from Ubuntu or any other source) would eliminate
any software issues. I'm referring to printing a demo page directly from
the printer per the instructions in the manual for the printer. My
apologies if you've already done that.

What printer driver are you using - the one from the Samsung CD, a ppd
from some other source, or the foomatic drivers (Samsung ML-2850D
Foomatic/Postscript)? If the latter, it may be worth purging and
reinstalling the foomatic packages.
