User comment:<p>
Samsung also has a driver <a href="http://www.samsung.com/support/productsupport/download/FileView.aspx?cttfileid=303020&type=Printer+and+Multifunction&typecode=&subtype=Black+%26+White+Laser+Printers+for+Home+and+Home+Office&subtypecode=&cmssubtypecode=&model=ML-1610/XAA&filetype=DR&language=&LSSI=/include/SSI/us_left/LMenu_PrinterandMultifunction_BlackWhiteLaserPrintersforHomeandHomeOffice.sec&RSSI=/include/SSI/us_right/RMenu_PrinterandMultifunction.sec"> here</a> which I didn't try yet.

A report on using the Samsung driver and installing this printer on Slackware.<p>
<a href="http://www.linuxpackages.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15246">http://www.linuxpackages.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15246</a><p>
It works perfectly fine, although there is a peculiar 'error' logging in /var/log/cups/error_log - 'media tray empty!' after every print job, but it doesn't seem to affect the printer (or CUPS) at all.<p>
The 'media try empty' error message is a bug in CUPS, and is fixed from:<p>
CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.21rc1
- The USB backend incorrectly reported "media tray
empty" (STR #660)
<br>===<p>
<em>My experience on Gentoo:</em>
Samsung offers an tar.gz package, which contains a GUI installer. The installation is quick and flawlessly. You can use CUPS or LPRng as backend. The installer also offers to install a printer management GUI and to integrate that with KDE/Gnome. (This GUI seems to be able to manage other CUPS printers, too; I didn't try that, however.)<p>
The driver package also contains a set of .ppd files among which is one for the ML-1610, appearently for PS Level 3.<p>
As the installation went smooth and the printer works fine, I'm setting the status to "Perfectly".<p><p>
