Linux Printing: Still Awful

It's a monochrome laser model, the ML-2250. I have gotten it to print a 
couple of test pages correctly but then it goes off into the weeds again,
dumping out pages of gibberish. Perhaps the ghostscript interpreter is
somehow getting removed and the thing is getting raw postscript commands
to print.

One option I suppose is to put the Samsung postscript interpreter chip in
the machine, turning it into a postscript printer. But that option not
cheap and it eliminates the flexibility one gets with software-based
ghostscript.

I'm going to have another round with it today and if there is no progress
I may have to hire someone who knows their way around this stuff...
