Check the cups filter chain for correct ownership and permissions.  Set 
it up in debug mode and look for clues as to what's hanging it up.  I 
fought with it for quite a while on one distribution, I don't remember 
which one, that had a problem with the filter chain.  The issue may have 
been caused by the distribution, not the Samsung driver.  YMMV
