I presume that this output is /var/log/messages?

Could you say what you actually did to reach this point - did you use
the method that I outlined or did you try to follow the Samsung
instructions for installing the unified drivers?  Once you did that,
how did you install the printer - did it autodetect once you plugged
it in? What facility did you use to define the printer within the
system?

It is hard to proceed just on the basis of the lines in the log....
if you can't remember the steps you took then you could remove the
printer definition - and copy the two files into your system as I
described in a previous posting. Once you have done that then do "ls
-lZ rastertosamsungsplc" after cd to its directory - and the same for
the ppd file so I can compare to my own. Then redefine the printer in
the system and tell me how you did so - step by step....

I will try to see if you then did anything differently to me.
