Robby Workman 27b70a2349 system/samsung-mfp-drivers: Added README.pdfprinterrors
This should help users figure out what to do if the printer
has trouble printing PDF files (everything else worked fine
for me, and oddly enough, using "lpr" to print the PDF to
the same printer also worked fine).

At some point in the 14.2 development cycle, PDF documents stopped printing
correctly. The printer would attempt to print them, send an error back to
the OS indicating that the job failed, and proceed to print garbage anyway.
After some debugging, I determined that that it had something to do with
EdgeControl settings. After commenting out the "Fine Edge" lines in the
PPD file, it seems to work fine. For the sake of reference, here's what
that section of my PPD file looks like now:
*% ==================================================================
*% Fine Edge
*% ==================================================================
*%OpenUI *EdgeControl/Edge Control: PickOne
*%OrderDependency: 15 AnySetup *EdgeControl
*%DefaultEdgeControl: Normal
*%EdgeControl Fine/On: ""
*%EdgeControl Normal/Off: ""
*%CloseUI: *EdgeControl
Note that adding a "%" after the "*" effectively comments a line.
