I have a Samsung ML-1740 laser printer which in F20 and below would work
immediately after install, even though splix wasn't installed. I believe it
was necessary for foomatic to be installed, and in one previous release it
wasn't installed by default, but was supposed to be.  Anyway, in F21 it was
necessary to install splix. Was the suppport for this printer moved from
foomatic to splix, and if so, should this be filed as a bug against
Distribution to have splix installed by default, same as foomatic?
