I have no experience with either of those printers. Have you looked in
the linux printing database at http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting?

but in case you're still deciding which printer to buy, I can suggest
another low-cost laser printer that works perfectly for me (I'm currently
running Centos 4.4, not Fedora, but if it works on Centos 4.4 I'd think
it would likewise work well on a recent Fedora).

I purhcased a Brother HL2070-N back at Christmas time. Plugged it in and
voila! A box popped up saying "you've plugged in a brother HL2070 printer,
would you like to configure it now?", I configured it, and it's just been
working. Brother has open source drivers for it, which I had downloaded
beforehand, but didn't need 'em. Just choose the HL-2060 printer type
and the HL-1250 driver and then set your resolution and other config
choices, and you're done.

I installed driver from Fedora standard driver database for ML-1610 in
system-printer-config.
Anyway the splix driver cannot be used at least with my printer,
message says that some error is present in driver database.
In the past when ML-1610 was not present in the list, I chose a
similar printer from Samsung list....check the available printer list
in cups.

How is system-printer-config installed, please? googling on
"system-printer-config" doesn't bring up anything I'm seeing as to how to
install that command.

I'm getting:

system-config-printer

future reference since others provided answer but this will tell you what you 
need:

yum list available |grep system
 or
  yum list installed | grep system

You can get a driver for the HP 1018 at http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com

I have a Samsung ML1710 plugged into a Hawking print server. Fedora 3
through 6 have printed to it with the Cups drivers with no problems.
