Hi, Got it working. I did so by installing the PPDs from this site: https://www.openprinting.org/printer/Samsung/Samsung-ML-1640
It also required the installation of the lsb (linux software base) package and all dependencies. I then used the printer GUI app thing from Settings to select the "Select from Database" option and chose the openprinting driver for the printer from the list. Seems like something that shouldn't be necessary these days. I'm still wondering if there's a more expeditious way or more standard way, but this will do for now.
