Everything is ok!

I have just uninstalled the samsung drivers. I installed the ML-1200  
built in support and it worked more or less fine.
I will need to test it a little while to find if something is acting  
funny, but for the moment I can tell you that those drivers got rid of  
the headaches! jejeje

Thank you!
