When i install Samsung driver I do a  su - in terminal.   
rasterbtosamsungsplc is shown as being own by root.

All I can get is a /usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertosamsungsplc failed , the 
printer is being detected on network or usb:// but all I get is
/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertosamsungsplc failed  ,  when I try to print

There surely is something different in Fedora 16 ,because I used this 
same Samsung driver in Fedora 13, 14, 15 and there is no updated driver 
on Samsung driver website.  for the CLX3175FN , the driver is CLX3170 
series.

I sent the error log to Samsung and they ack. they received it, but no 
updates.
