The X215, SCX-4216F and Xerox PE 16 appears to be the same printer. This will probably work for the Xerox as well. Download the SCX-4216F drivers from [http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/DR/200607/20060719092410609_UnifiedLinuxDriver.tar.gz] and run installation program. This will install a configuration program and make the driver available in the CUPS printer setup. Printing works fine over smb, haven't tested scanning.

Printer looks for DHCP server and works perfectly over a network (printer has inbuilt print server). To print from Adobe Reader change printing command from /usr/bin/lp to /usr/bin/lpr -YourPrinterName. www.linuxprinting.org suggest using the pxl mono driver but I found this stalled certain PDF print jobs - I use lj5grey and has fixed the problem. Quality and speed good. Could not get Lexmark proprietary drivers to work- you don't need it for this printer anyway.

No

Mostly

After installing the .PPD file, I just installed it with the CUPS web interface. Works ok. Aparently there is a problem where the printer can block with it's error LED flashing, to sole this you should set the paper tray to "automatic". PPD file can be found here : http://europe.oki.com/binaryData/6683/ok4200pcl.ppd.gz

The print manager should auto-detect; use the ML-1710 drivers. Seconded -- I have the same experience. It's a good printer.

5.04, 5.10, 6.06

Recognized as the ML-200, ML-210, or ML-4500. Works well for some, slow (8ppm) for others. Latest MFG's driver is v 2.xx. Installs easily but must still go to System/Admin/Printers and add ML-2010. Tested fine in Dapper. Original driver from Samsung was horrible

Yes

5.04, 5.10

Works, though seems buggy (Landscape printing in OpenOffice doesn't work, etc.) Downloaded (Linux-compatiable) driver from Samsung which asks for root password when installed which doesn't seems to work, however printer is detected anyway.

5.10, 6.06

ML-1610 not listed but defaults to ML-1650 but this driver does not work, Select ML-1510 driver and printer then works perfectly with no other settings needed. -- update by JanClaeys: I use the ML-1710 driver which seems to work a little better (it fixed a printing problem I had with the ML-1510 driver).
