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). Signed-off-by: Robby Workman <rworkman@slackbuilds.org>

+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.
