Samsung printer ML-2150 and CLP-500 - drivers for Linux ubuntu 9.04

I've had Linux Ub. 8.04 installed on two of my tree desktops. I used both my printers on them via printservers. I recently upgraded to Linux ub. 8.04 and have never been able to use the printers from these computers since. It seems to be a driver problem, but I am not sure. Can anyone help, please!

"tree" desktops ? Maybe you're of Irish descent ?
OK. It's "Three" ;)

What "printservers" ?
Would you be using cups perhaps ?

Well, you have just said that you are running 8.04, so just how did you "upgrade" it to 8.04?

We need more details. A careful description of what your set-up is and what is, or is not, working, along with the details of the distros you are running on each would help us help you.

Welcome to LQ.

Probably need to re-install the Samsung drivers since the CLP-500 doesn't speak a standard printer language..

The other printer however should work fine with CUPS, LPR, Gutenprint, and the appropriate .ppd file.
