Don't. It won't work.
I am not sure about that, read on.
It is a GDI printer. It won't work under lpdold, and with CUPS it won't work unless it is listed when you do "gs -h", which list the supported printers in the GhostScript gs_lib file,. I recently returned a Samsung ML4500 for that very reason.
I have a Samsung ML4600 and have it working under Linux fine. YaST CUPS Configuration utility provided with SuSE 7.2 has the Samsung ML4500 listed despite it being GDI.
YaST2 pulls the mfgr name and model number from the printer bios, but it fails to recognize the printer regardless. I, too, am running a fully installed SuSE 7.2 and when I do a 'gs -h' on GhostScript (where the driver actually is) the ML4500 is NOT listed. http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/ke_printer-gdi.html

I'm on the verge of buying a Samsung ML6060 laser printer. I can't see any reason why it won't work with Linux but I thought I'd better check it out for any gotchas before parting with my cash. So is anyone using one of these and if so, how are you getting on with it ? I have Suse 7.0 and 7.2 running on my systems.
If you use YaST CUPS Configuration utility you will notice that it supports the ML6000/ML6100, assuming the ML6060 is a member of the ML6000 series I would think it is supported. According to the Simply Computers catalog the ML6060 is a ML6000 series printer.
