Yes I very familiar with what your talking about, After installing 
driver you have to relabel the samsung files.
I put Selinux in the permissive mode so that is not the problem here.
It is a problem with Fedora printer setup that is causing the problem, 
some Fedora installs work fine and others are giving me problems
on mainly PC's and not laptops.

Thanks for your help.
