samsung ML-1710 driver
The use of Samsung's driver software for the ML-1710 is frustrating, but doable. First you need to download the latest driver from Samsung. The one on the disk is broken. It is trivial to find on their site, so I'll spare you the details.
After untarring the tarball you just su to root and run
# ./setup.sh
It will create a directory /usr/local/linuxprinter with the printer stuff in it. Then I ran the command
# linux-configure
and it came up with a supposed printer set up to print. It still did not work. I noticed that the usb setup seemed incomplete, so I removed the printer instance in Samsungs graphic dialog box thingy and added a new printer instance under linux printers, using the button on their dialog thingy. The instance created works when I try to print. I also got to set things like paper thickness and some toner stuff.
