As reported in the comments here https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/samsung-unified-driver there's a regression when using the version 2.2.11 instead of 2.2.10. Instead of printing the file, it prints the error message
SPL-C ERROR - Please use the proper driver
POSITION : 0x0 (0)
SYSTEM : src_5.47/xl_image
LINE : 629
VERSION : SPL-C 5.47 01-15-2010
I've bisected the problem using my printer Samsung CLX-3185 and found the following commit to be the first commit introducing the regression 558bba7
Unfortunately, I cannot test the current master version if the regression still persists, as I'm getting a nasty compilation error after applying ArchLinux patches:
Compiling ippeveprinter.c...

When I try to revert the problematic commit 558bba7 on v2.2.11, I get the following linking error:
Linking libcups.so.2...
clang-8: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-pie' [-Wunused-command-line-argument]
Making all in test...
Compiling ippfind.c...
Linking ippfind...
/usr/bin/ld: ../cups/libcups.so: undefined reference to `ppd_free'
clang-8: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[1]: *** [Makefile:186: ippfind] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:38: all] Error 1
Which I was able to fix by adding the line
#define ppd_free(p) if (p) free(p) /* Safe free macro */
back to cups/ppd.c
The finally build package with this "reverted" v2.2.11 did not show the regression, which pretty much indicates that 558bba7 is really the problem here (although the related PR #5475 told me that it just removed dead code, maybe not so dead at all...)
Maybe someone can help me fixing those compile errors on the master branch, or can manually check if the above commit has been reverted in the meantime.
I'm happy to provide more information on the problem or test proposed patches (if I get them to compile on my machine).
