Probably. I have a Samsung ML-4500 and that works with the GDI driver.
Paul.
Henk, have you looked up those printers at linuxprinting.org?
Regarding the Brother HL2030, it says "works mostly".
For the SAmsung ML1710 it says "works perfectly. I don't see a listing
there for the 1610.
Rather than take my word for it I urge you to go look at the database
there yourself. They have a lot more information than what I gave you here.
