I've had this printer for a while. Worked out of the box with mdk9.0 and with 9.1 - so it works with the 2.4.20mdk kernel. The driver supplied on a CD with the printer works fine (mandrake also seems to package the driver). The driver can also be downloaded from samsung.com.
One problem I noticed is that 300dpi printing seems bad (it looks like printed on wet paper with an inkjet printer). 600dpi is fine.

No problems at all. Easily served by Redhat and Slackware in the past - CUPs with the preinstalled PPDs handle it beautifully. I had a look at the download from Samsung's website at one point which contains a version of lp (IIRC) but CUPs works fine and gives you a better interface on modern distros.

On Debian, install the "foomatics-filters-ppds" package which contains all the PPDs for practically every printer, including this one.

Paid £99 uk sterling.

Worked perfectly with SuSE 8.2, then 9.2 and now with Slackware 10.0.

If you need a CUPS ppd file you can find a fully working one at http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Samsung-ML-1210
