I've been using an ML-1210 with CUPS on a system tracking unstable for
about a year and a half, so sometime in that period it must have been
working with what now is the stable distro...
The one thing I had to do that sticks out in my mind was that I had to
switch from gs-aladdin to the regular (GNU) gs package to get the
Samsung SmartGDI driver support. If you type gs --help you should see
"samsunggdi" somewhere in the supported devices list.
