Neil, is there any chance you can confirm the IEEE1284 ID of the printer?

Hi Robert,
I've added this printer to the PCL driver supported pritner list,
using same driver as for the HP Laserjet 4050:
Samsung ProXpress SL-M3820ND
Since we don't have a confirmed IEEE1284 ID yet, I left that blank
(which I think would also need to be the case if it is the same as for
the HP device).
Maybe good to check if my commit is correct for this situation.

Best regards,
