There are 2 brand new iMac running Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite. Both machines have a wired ethernet connection to a wired Samsung CLX-6260ND MFC (multifunction) printer.
Installation is a piece of cake, go to system preferences, printers and scanners, add a new printer, and the printer is already there in the Bonjour list. Now the OS downloads additional software and ready to print.
Then the issues start occurring, before even creating a print preview the applications crashes.

Safari JobAccounting2 printing error
PlugIn Path: /Library/Printers/Samsung/PDEs/JobAccounting2.bundle/Contents/MacOS/JobAccounting2

The faulty JobAccounting2 module is:
$ ls -l /Library/Printers/Samsung/PDEs/JobAccounting2.bundle/Contents/MacOS/JobAccounting2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 194320 Oct 31 2013 /Library/Printers/Samsung/PDEs/JobAccounting2.bundle/Contents/MacOS/JobAccounting2
The fault printer driver version number according to: System Preferences > Printers and scanners > Printing > Samsung CLX 6260 Series > Open print queue > Settings > General: 1.11.01
Regression:
- Word, Excel, Outlook, Safari, Firefox, they all crash.
- Have installed OS updates, still printing crashes.
- We installed the most recent (09.03.2015 also known as 5.00.0a04) printer driver from Samsung website, and still crashes all over. This driver installation doesn't seem to update the Apple installed Samsung driver: driver version for the already installed printer doesn't change.
- Install the Samsung network printer on a different Mac, running OS X 10.9.5 (Mavericks), JobAccounting2 print crashes there too.
