So, you've now looked :-)

I've had good experience with foomatic use for most various printers
in the past and wanted to give you a pointer to that package, no
promises, since you didn't seem to be familiar it.

I didn't have the printing packages installed in the machine I sent
the original mail from, so could not check the correct package names
-- I can check what I have now:

----------------------------------------
$ pkg_info -L foomatic-db-20070124_1| grep -ic samsung
62

$ pkg_info -L foomatic-db-20070124_1| grep -ic scx
0
----------------------------------------

So, that printer is not yet in BSD foomatic-db.

I know -- but I often used Linux-based advice as a clue for solving
printing problems on FreeBSD.

Sorry this didn't help you (and I am sure you saw this
http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Samsung-SCX-4200).
