Samsung Printer/Scanner drivers for Linux Fedora

To install Samsung printer drivers go to
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads
Click on Printers and choose your printer model. Most likely it will be tar.gz file. In termial go to folder where you downloaded the file. In most cases it will be ~/Downloads and type

tar xvf uld_v1.00.06.tar.gz

This is name of my downloaded file, you will here type name of file you downloaded. After content of archive is extracted type

sudo ~/Downloads/uld/install.sh

Also, you will here type path where you extracted file from step 1. This command must be executed with elevated privileges (sudo) or it will fail.
Confirm execution of script with "y" and go through EULA with Enter. Be carefull because after EULA you will have another confirmation and if you just keep pressing Enter like maniac default answer will be "No" and you will have to run script again. So, choose yes. Next you will be asked do you want to make firewall rules if you intent do use printer over network, after answering that (I choosed No) script will finish installation of drivers.
Start Printer Settings and turn on you printer. Click Add and select your make and model. You will be asked to install drivers, but since we already did that you can hit Cancel. Confirm friendly name and apply settings. Printer installation should now be completed, if you want you can print test page.
