>    The name of this driver is very confusing, it is not a driver for
>    all GDI printers, it only works with the so-called
>    &quot;SmartGDI&quot; or &quot;PrinThru&quot; printers of
>    Samsung.
>
>    The original driver published under the GPL by Samsung some years
>    ago has a bug which prevents some files from being printed. Grant
>    Taylor has implemented a workaround.  On the driver's download
>    page (it is here on linuxprinting.org, Samsung does not provide
>    this driver any more) you will find a patch and an already fixed
>    version.&lt;p&gt;
>
>    And &lt;a
>    href=&quot;http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/printing/ghostscript-8.x/drivers/gdi/&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;
>    you get the version for GPL/AFPL GhostScript 8.x, also with
>    Grant's fixes. In ESP GhostScript 8.x this driver is already
>    included. If you want to add it to your GhostScript, put the
>    &lt;tt&gt;gdevgdi.c&lt;/tt&gt; file into the
>    &lt;tt&gt;src/&lt;/tt&gt; subdirectory of the GhostScript source
>    package, append &lt;tt&gt;gdevgdi-gdi.mak&lt;/tt&gt; to
>    &lt;tt&gt;src/contrib.mak&lt;/tt&gt;, and add
>    &quot;&lt;tt&gt;$(DD)gdi.dev&lt;/tt&gt;&quot; to one of the
>    &quot;&lt;tt&gt;DEVICE_DEVS...&lt;/tt&gt;&quot; lines of
>    &lt;tt&gt;src/Makefile.in&lt;/tt&gt;. Then compile as
>    ususal.&lt;p&gt;
>
>    Here is a &lt;a
>    href=&quot;http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/printing/samsung-gdi/gpl-gs-8.54-samsunggdi.patch&quot;&gt;patch
>    to add the "gdi" driver to GPL GhostScript 8.54&lt;/a&gt;. Please
>    test it and report on our Samsung forum. Thanks to MJ Ray (mjr at
>    phonecoop dot coop) for this contribution.&lt;p&gt;
>
>    This Foomatic entry gives access to all options which the Windows
>    driver provides for Samsung&apos;s GDI printers. As this was not
>    forseen by the original GhostScript driver from Samsung, a hack
>    was applied in this Foomatic entry. The driver does not need to be
>    patched for that.&lt;p&gt;
>
>    If you are using MagicFilter 1.2, you can use &lt;a
>    href=&quot;http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/printing/samsung-gdi/gdi-filter.gz&quot;&gt;this
>    filter&lt;/a&gt; with the driver (developed on Debian Potato,
>    contributed by Felix E. Klee, felix dot klee at inka dot de). To
>    install you have to uncompress it and to copy it into your
>    MagicFilter directory (&lt;tt&gt;/etc/magicfilter&lt;/tt&gt; on
>    Debian). This file does not work with newer versions of
>    MagicFilter.
