I also downloaded Samsung-SmartGDI-all-GS.tar.gz from http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/printing/samsung-gdi/ ... but I'm not sure what do to with it. If I do a ps -h to see what drivers are in my postscript, gdi is listed. I also have the cupsd running.

Did you restart CUPS (or at least a kill -HUP to cupsd) after adding the
PPD ?
cupsd reads the contents of the /usr/share/cups/model directory only
after
startup or after a kill -HUP.
