It should be noted that the CLP-550 printers have built-in postscript, but
the CLP-500 series only use a samsung propriatory protocol, so you have to
use samsung's drivers. From looking at the threads at linuxprinting.org,
these drivers can be problimatic to set up. The OP would do well to have a
look at the mailing list archives at linuxprinting.org as well as the
CLP-500 entry in the database there. There are several people who have
posted their experiances getting their printers set up.
FWIW, anyone contemplating buying one of these printers should get the 550.
Besides having PS, it ships with full toner cartridges instead of 'starter'
cartridges, which alone is probably enough to justify the price difference.
