I have in my /usr/pkg/share/cups/model a Samsung folder with:
ML-1250-pxlmono.ppd
So the full path is
/usr/pkg/share/cups/model/Samsung/ML-1250-pxlmono.ppd
Once you put the files in the folder you will have to restart cups.
(/etc/rc.d/cupsd restart)

You may also need foomatic-filters and foomatic-filters-cups from
pkgsrc. For the pxlmono drivers, I did, but I don't know about the gdi
ones. Likewise, you might be interested in cupsomatic-ppds (also in
pkgsrc).
I have CUPS working with both a Samsung ML-1430 and a Samsung ML-1250
(one through a NetGear print server), so I hope that helps.
