The ML-1610 isn't a postscript printer anyway -- it needs the gdi
driver, originally from Samsung.

http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/printing/samsung-gdi/README.txt
says
        The original driver from Samsung has a bug. It does not print
        all files. The driver compresses the page's bitmap in bands. If
        a band happens to have a size bigger than 64 kB after
        compressing the printer cannot print it.

This means that complex documents are unlikely to print.

One "workaround" is to set the document's resolution to 300 dpi. It is
supposed to be possible to patch the driver to fix this, but I've never
got that far (my Samsung went faulty first...)

The patch is in
http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/printing/samsung-gdi .

Hope this helps,

James.
