I followed three paths:

* First I followed the hints on 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=341621&highlight=splix and installed 
the Samsung Unified Print Driver
* I tried Foomatic/foo2qpdl
* I tried SPL-C

When I issued a apt-get install splix I was very astonished to see it
already installed. As such I don't know wheather SPL-C is the splix
driver or the Samsung Unified Print Driver. When using SPL-C and printig
large documents a process rastertosamsung is playing together with gs
(and eating almost 50% of my dual cores).

I observerd:

* The color print quality of Foomatic/foo2qpdl is aceptable; The are
some artefacts, but at least color gradients print correctly; However
pure colors have some "stripes" in filled areas, which all-in-all result
in a bad quality for eg. photos. I did not tried ICM profiles but by
default a color correction would be neccessary as all colors have a
somewhat wrong tint.

* SPL-C comes out very good! There's not much to say, very brilliant
colors, sensible CMYK-RGB values and no artefacts of any kind. A mild
color correction would be good for RGB grayscales (it's a light bluish
gray) but otherwise perfect

(* pxlcolor [PCL-XL] is pointless to try with this printer as I consider
the firmware buggy)

Please tell me if by using SPL-C I use Splix or the Samsung Unified
Print Driver.
