If it´s a non-opensource driver, then repackaging might not even be an
option. Depends if the end user license agreeement allows such
repackaging.

Just thinking aloud, have to check what the license is. The Samsung
web site displays a disclaimer/license notice that I quickly dismissed
without actually reading what it says (don´t we all), previous to
letting you download the file.

My point is.... STANDARDS.... hardware makers should abide to them (if
those standards exist).

I will dive into the cups mailing list -if any- and have a talk with
cups devs... having a bash script that copies files and libs around
seems odd.
