I give in! Your ULD package doesn't work for you on unstable. Let us see
how mine goes on.

1. Go to http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/ML-1910/SEE and download
   uld_v1.00.06.tar.gz.

2. Decompress and unpack the file with 'tar zvxf uld_v1.00.06.tar.gz'.

3. cp uld/i386/rastertospl /usr/lib/cups/filter/.

4. chown root.root /usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertospl.

5. cp uld/noarch/share/ppd/Samsung_ML-191x_Series.ppd /usr/share/ppd/custom/.

6. lpinfo -m | grep ML-191x.

7. lpadmin -p ML191x -v file:/dev/null -E -m lsb/usr/custom/Samsung_ML-191x_Series.ppd.

The last five steps are done as root.

Now (as root again)

8. cupsfilter -p /etc/cups/ppd/ML192x.ppd -e -m printer/foo message.txt > out.prn 2>log.

log and out.prn have been compressed and attached to this mail.
Uncompress with gunzip. Note that the log shows all filters being run
successfully. As far as I am concerned, cupsd and the filtering system
have worked well. message.txt contains a secret message for you.

out.prn is a file which can be sent directly to the Samsung printer.
But I haven't got such a printer, you say. Ah, but *you* have. So do

 cat out.prn > /dev/usb/lp0

You can now reveal the message to everyone.

An invitation: any of the hundreds of list readers with a USB connected
Samsung printer which accepts SPL can have fun trying to print the file
too.
