Samsung printer drivers open up the system

Some of their printers are extremely cheap (I got a mono laser for fifty quid) and are perfectly well supported by e.g. pxlmono (as long as you don't mind 600dpi output).

It's just that they don't grok the free software world yet. Duh, they're a Far Eastern hardware company, none of them grok the free software world at all. At least Samsung know Linux exists (even if they seem a bit clueless about what it is).
