User comment:
Samsung also has a driver here which I didn't try yet.

A report on using the Samsung driver and installing this printer on Slackware.
http://www.linuxpackages.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15246
It works perfectly fine, although there is a peculiar 'error' logging in /var/log/cups/error_log - 'media tray empty!' after every print job, but it doesn't seem to affect the printer (or CUPS) at all.
The 'media try empty' error message is a bug in CUPS, and is fixed from:
CHANGES IN CUPS V1.1.21rc1
- The USB backend incorrectly reported "media tray
empty" (STR #660)

My experience on Gentoo: Samsung offers an tar.gz package, which contains a GUI installer. The installation is quick and flawlessly. You can use CUPS or LPRng as backend. The installer also offers to install a printer management GUI and to integrate that with KDE/Gnome. (This GUI seems to be able to manage other CUPS printers, too; I didn't try that, however.)
The driver package also contains a set of .ppd files among which is one for the ML-1610, appearently for PS Level 3.
As the installation went smooth and the printer works fine, I'm setting the status to "Perfectly".

Using Ubuntu it seems to work when choosing the ML-1510
printer in CUPS, but in OOo sometimes the left & top
margins aren't right.
Comment on the previous statement:
There's no need to use the driver for the ML-1510, as
Samsung offers an own driver for the ML-1610.
