Hi,
since I installed Lion my printer "Samsung SCX-4725FN" is not running anymore and because it's an old device I'm not able to install the drivers, since Lion doesn't support PowerPC-Apps.
I already installed the Samsung-printer-driver for Lion, unfortunately my printer is not supported.
Has anyone an idea or solution or maybe the same problem?
Thanks,

Get a new printer.
Get a new printer.
According to the Samsung AU web site, this model supports PS3 and PCL6. So while there may not be a Samsung driver available you should be able to create a print queue and use either the Generic Postscript driver or the Generic PCL Laser Printer driver that is included with Lion.
As PAHU indicates, the printer can print using a PostScript driver. I took a look at the Samsung page and found the old driver. I ran the installer on a machine that had OS X 10.4 installed on it. The only items that were installed were PostScript PPDs. These are plain text files. It is the installer that was a PPC applicaiton and could not run in Lion.
I placed the English PPD for your printer on my website. You can download it here. Place the file in /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources. You can then add your printer using the Samsung driver. If you need a different language version of the driver, please post back with the language you need.
Thank you all for your fast and correct solutions. I tried Matts way and my printer works!
Unfortunately the build in scanner is not recognized by the app "digital pictures". Does anyone of you may know how I can fix that?
By the way, just before I tried Matts solution, I also used the driver for another Samsung printer. That worked too for the printer but not for the scanner. The driver I tried was "Samsung SCX-4x24 Series".
Thanks,
