Are you on 32 or 64 bit architecture?

For the 64 bit architecture, to install any printer you will need printing.xzm module installed and activated in /porteus/modules folder, see hyperlink:
dl.porteus.org/x86_64/current/modules

Samsung.
Use the ppd driver installation for the ML-2245 (Samsung_ML-2245_Series.ppd) and probably Samsung ProExpress M 3320 (Samsung_M332x_382x_402x_Series.ppd)

1.0 See example of ppd for c460dw which is named Samsung_C460_Series.ppd:
viewtopic.php?f=61&t=3683&start=15
2.0 Universal linux driver (samsung) download:
http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/d ... .06.tar.gz
. uncompress the package
. within the /uld/noarch/share/ppd the ppds for samsung printers will be there
. the Samsung_C460_Series_fr.ppd si for the C460DW
3.0 Install the ppd file:
kde panel menu > system > print settings
. in print-settings (system-config-printer utility):
add > network printer > ipp://10.0.0.12 (as an example, you have to provide your the ip address of your printer) > provide ppd file > /uld/noarch/share/ppd/Samsung_C460_Series_fr.ppd (adding the path where you did uncompressed the uld driver)

WEP printer.

See:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1771222
So the same driver for the dot printers should work also for this one.
