[ale] Samsung Printer Configurator: Too much of a good thing?

ALErs-

I'm having some usability problems with my Samsung ML-2010 printer. 
Specifically, the configurator GUI comes up on the screen whenever I send 
a job to the printer, and the user must release the job to the printer. 
(Shades of M$ @#$@@!!)

This doesn't work with a lot of print jobs, including remote print jobs 
and printing from remote console logins. It probably would prevent 
printing from a simple terminal login as well.

The environment is openSuSE-10.2, KDE, Samsung printer driver. Not sure 
about CUPS nor gimp-print usage.

How can I set up this printer so it just runs on a simple print queue? 
(Since it's a B&W laser, my "utility" text printer, I don't expect to 
remotely adjust the settings.)

Thanks.
