Unfortunately, it doesn't work. > This is one reason why I do my best to only install Debianized packages > (i.e. packages that have been customized specifically for the Debian > environment, even if they are not official, as opposed to generic > install scripts from vendors that supposedly work with all distributions). Yes, I agree. After installing the Samsung official driver, I found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=341621 , where Debianized packages are reported. If I can't solve the problem with /etc/modprobe.conf, I'll try it. Only, there doesn't seem to be support for ink level checking, which is important, I think.
