It seems to me that there are two bugs being reported here:

1. foo2qpdl produces incorrect colour output on Samsung CLP-315 printer. This aspect IS NOT a duplicate of bug 382379 and presumably remains unfixed.

2. Samsung's proprietary printer driver (also known as the Samsung Unified Linux Driver) was slow when used in combination with the Ghostscript based pdftops CUPS filter. This aspect IS a duplicate of bug 382379 and should therefore be considered closed/fixed.

For what it's worth, foo2qpdl has never produced good colours on my Samsung CLP-310N printer.

My workaround for years has been to use the Samsung driver as packaged at http://www.bchemnet.com/suldr/ but of course that does not help to improve foo2qpdl.

Bug 786497 seems to describe similar colour problems with another Samsung printer; perhaps both bugs share a common cause.
