SpliX fixes Samsung ML 1740 on OS X Yosemite

Upgraded to OS X Yosemite.  First casualty = my Samsung ML 1740 printer.

Mavericks had not been kind to my printer, either.  I had previously gotten it to work with tech magic I've long forgotten - something about GhostScript and CUPS.  This time, I found a solution called SpliX.

SpliX installs CUPS drivers for Samsung printers.

This only worked for a while.  It would sporadically fail.  I finally gave up and purchased a new Brother printer.
