Have you followed these instructions?
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Samsung-ML-2510
I have got the printer to work. I ended up using the ML2150 (not ML2510)
printer option in foomatic and I chose the gdi driver. Non of the others
work. Splix is in the driver pool in Etch...... but it wouldn't drive this
printer. However, I could only call it up under the banner of the ML2010
model in foomatic. There is no entry for the ML2510 printer itself in the
Etch foomatic world.
I tried more with the Samsung Linux driver package. It doesn't install
properly from the CD in Etch. There are install.sh files and autorun.sh
files and a whole load of other files that don't work because they are not
executable you have to do chmod +x on them. Copying the stuff from the CD
to the hard disk doesn't help much. Even after you do a fair amount of
chmod +x ing you still get a whole bunch of funny permission problems that
it tries to fix sort of before firing up its universal printer configurator
or whatver it calls it which then finds the printer sets up the driver and
fails to to print the test page.....
Apparently it does work in Ubuntu, Suse and Redhat. But Etch permission
land kills it stone dead.

Not yet, I will try this....
It seems to use the "splix" CUPS drivers, these are not available in
Debian yet.

It seems so. The foomatic gui in Etch RC1 recommended hpijs and pxlmono...
I tried both but with the same result.
I found a site that lists the hpijs and pxlmono drivers that are supposed
to work for the ML2510 printer and the newer ones including splix that
Debian doesn't have.

I could try the gdi driver.... if Debian has it....???
I will keep messing with it.
