I've managed to get a Samsung ML-1510 (usb) working with my 4.9 system -
networked printing over ipp. look into cups, foomatic scripts and see some posts
related to these and a brother printer by Miguel Mendez. You'll need Generic
Adobe postscript drivers if you want to allow windows clients to print.

You can install the foomatic scripts either through ports, or through the
linuxprinting.org pages.
