Hope this helps, Andrei --
I believe that it was Debian 5 with which I had tried splix previously.In looking at http://splix.ap2c.org/ , the Samsung CLX-3185 is not listed as being compatible with splix.
However, using Synaptic, I have installed splix.But, splix does not appear in any of the menu's, and the web site for splix, does not include any instructions, including how to run splix.
So, like PC-BSD on my HP NX5000, it has been installed, and, disappeared, as I do not know how to load and run it.
