Thank you. I have downloaded the file, compressed it and attached it
to this mail to ensure it is available in the BTS for the future.
cups-driverd looks in /usr/share/ppd/ for PPDs but does not look in its
sub-directories:

"E" signifies an error. Because of it cups-driverd skips the remaining
directories such as /usr/share/ppd/cups-pdf:

Post the output of 'ls -l /usr/share/ppd' and say from where you got the
package containing the samsung files.
Cheers,
Brian.
