Just making a quick note on an excellent tutorial in the Ubuntu Forums:
How to install Samsung Unified Printer Driver
My plans to upgrade to Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) may be put on hold as I discovered my dvd drive is scratching dvds. A tutorial on how to take out the drive for my particular notebook is at Change the DVD drive of an Acer Aspire 1690. It’s just a matter of making the time and space.

thank you for the tutorial,
fortunately the new ubuntu system config printer that first ship with Gutsy 7.10 can replace the Samsung driver without any qualm.
Always updated and maintained open source software is generally better, and in this case it is indeed!
That’s the best news I’ve heard all day! Thanks again.
