OK, I found the log in var/log/cups and looked at that, and set cupsd.conf to 'LogLevel debug' and ran more tests...and saw a line showing it was failing when using the file 'rastertosamsungspl'.  So I recopied the file from the stuff that was in the driver tar,gz that came from Samsung over to /usr/lib/cups/filter after deleting the one that was there before.  AND IT WORKS.  Hallelujah!

I don't know why it was failing because the file that was there was one I copied into that location previously out of the same download.  Who knows.  But it is fixed.

Your recommendations led me into finding this, so I am indebted to you for the suggestion.  Thanks.
