Bug Description
I added a Samsung CLP-610ND via the gui and it auto-picked a driver that doesn't work (foo2qpdl). The printer machinery hums but no paper comes out.
Using cups I changed the driver to the enigmatically named "2.0.0 (en)" which is actually the splix driver and the native language of the printer. However no print jobs come out as this driver needs CMS files installed.
SpliX Cannot open CMS file /usr/share/
This need for CMS files is mandatory and mentioned in the INSTALL file for splix.
All this is a mess - no driver as shipped with the system works as is.

I should add that putting the CMS files in place doesn't help either. Jobs just sit in the queue in processing state forever.
Using splix is the openprinting recommended driver for this printer.
The only way I have found to make it work is to use the pcl driver as I had configured from several ubuntu releases ago.
