Thanks...
Previous Post that helped me go in the right direction yet the instructions don't seem to be helping.

Oh my God, I found a driver that works with my Samsung ML-1210 printer on 10.4.
I had done a search on this forum, downloaded the following:
Alternate driver:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/samsung-gdi/
except, get the newer ESP ghostscript from here:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/foomatic/
but my computer didn't recognize the printer and I couldn't set it up.
I then did a Google search and stumbled on Jeff Boulter's site where he offers a link to a driver for the ML-1740. OK, not the same model, but by that time I was pretty desperate and willing to try anything.
It worked! Here's the link:

Click on "a copy of the drivers" and a copy of the driver will be downloaded to the desktop. Open the driver to install it on the hard drive, then set up your printer through System Preferences. I set mine up through both USB and wireless Airport connection without a hitch.
Hope this helps those of you out there searching for the elusive driver.
If you do download it, I'd like to hear how it went for you. I still have the inital Linux driver and ESP ghostwriter script installed, and would like to know if I need to keep them on my system, or if I can trash them.
