I certainly would try the splix driver, yet I don't know how to choose it.

That's the output of

splix is already the newest version.

So it seams to be installed. But whatever model of Samsung printer I choose, I never get the opportunity to choose a 'splix' driver, either in the KDE printer settings or directly in Cups, localhost:631.

However, pstoqpdl is in /usr/lib/cups/filter and /usr/share/ppd/splix/samsung is also present. However, there also is a folder /usr/share/ppd/samsung, a symlink to ../cups/model/samsung/ a folder created by the Unified Samsung Print Driver.

Maybe the Samsung Unified Print Driver is hiding / masking splix?????
