Avoid a problem caused by a Samsung color printer

After installing the software for a Samsung CLP-610 color laser printer, we started having issues with the machine (a PowerMac) crashing at random times. It turns out the hard drive was being filled to capacity with files named 49?????????? in /private/var/tmp. Through a process of elimination, I finally determined the culprit was a Samsung application called SPanel. Renaming this application (located at /Library » Printers » SPanel » Samsung » SPanel.app) resolved the problem.

Hope this helps someone save the very frustrating amount of time I spent tracking this down.
