I just did a clean install of Linux Mint 17 (Ubuntu 14.04 based)

I tried adding the suld-driver-2-1.00.21

When I installed the printer I get the message
Missing driver
Printer 'Samsung-ML-1670' requires the '/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertosplc' program but it is not currently installed.  Please install it before using this printer.

I searched synaptic Package manager and do not find this

I recently reformatted an old machine with Linux Mint 15 and ran into many problems. This particular problem now has reared its ugly head in the Mint 14 installation as well and I am 90% sure it relates to this driver repo directly.

Let me explain that I created an image of Mint 14 with my Samba and CUPs configured just as I had wanted and was tested on an HP Deskjet printer as well as the PDF virtual printer . Both of which had worked while only clicking "Export Printers to Samba" in the Administration tab of CUPS . This particular install of CUPS was a forced upgrade to 1.61 whereas the Mint 15 with the same error was 1.62 (default version) .

The error produced is below and clearly related to the Samsung driver mess. I believe the "W" messages to be "warnings" that are not fatal while the "E" messages which all relate to Samsung drivers, seem to be fatal "errors".  The files referenced in the E messages seem to be where indicated in /usr/share/cups/model/suld/cms/, but I have no way of knowing what is wrong with them

before moving on, I want to make an additional comment that printing was painfully slow on Mint 15 after testing a few different versions of the drivers here . This apparently is not the case on Mint 14 using the latest driver version.
