From where did you get the necessary drivers? > device for Samsung_ML-191x_252x_Series: > usb://Samsung/ML-191x%20252x%20Series?serial=Z2L9BABZ700571F. Encouraging. CUPS has detected the printer is on a USB connection. There should be no problem printing after your basic problem is sorted out. > Samsung_ML-191x_252x_Series accepting requests since Sun 12 Mar 2017 07:44:58 > GMT > printer Samsung_ML-191x_252x_Series is idle. enabled since Sun 12 Mar 2017 > 07:44:58 GMT > Sending data to printer.

It would print garbage if it got it. I wonder why the filtering system thinks converting a PDF to a PS file is needed.
