Samsung CLP-315 doesn't print

I was looking through this discussions for two days now and tried everything to make my Samsung CLP-315 print via Time Capsule. If I plug the printer into my iMac it works fine, but if I plug it into Time Capsule it will print a few times only. I'm very disappointed because the printer is Mac compatible and Time Capsule is supposed to support all printers, since there is no list of supported printers.
I guess it can only be a compatibility problem...

It seems like this list is marketed a lot by the experts. Can you please teach us to fish? What are the specs to look for / ask about to determine compatibility? HP had a matrix on their drivers of some sort on their website a while back, but cannot find it.
The problem is this - folks want to buy a printer; which should they buy? Apple keeps thinking of the problem as - i have a printer, how do i get it to work. The latter may be valid - but I keep reading the former and it doesn't appear as if it can be addressed.
Please help us use your products. thank you.

  • Samsung CLP-315 printer not happy with Snow Leopard

    I got a Samsung CLP-315 color laser printer about 6 months ago. I had it connected to an iMac G5 (PPC) running Tiger. It worked wonderfully. Well, the iMac died so I got a new Mac Mini (Intel running Snow Leopard). Well, now things are not working very well. When I try to print, sometime it prints, other times I need to power cycle the printer, then when I try to print it works. Printing remotely from my other iMac used to work flawlessly, now it is interemittent. For example, when I try to print a PDF file remotely it won't print. I've very dissapointed that moving to the newest OS causes problems.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    I think I may have fixed the problem. I haven't done extensive testing, but...
    I turned off the printer. I used the install CD that came with the printer. I performed an Uninstall operation. Then I opened System Preferences -> Pring & Fax, and deleted the printer. Then I turned on the printer and Snow Leopard asked me if I wanted to install the driver. I said yes and it went looking. When it completed the printer showed up in my print preferences. This time the picture of the printer showed up in the preferences. Before that it was a generic looking printer. Maybe these drivers are newer/better. We'll see.

    I had this problem with my Samsung CLX3185, For some other reason I had to restart. After that restart when I got around to it again, I could install it. Hope it helps. Also, Samsung printer software update is available via software update. Suggest run the SW update, restart and try again.

  • Samsung CLP-315 and Airport Extreme, sporadically does not print

    Hi:
    I am using MacBook Pro, OS X 10.5.8, Dual-band Airport Extreme with v.7.4.2, and a Samsung CLP-315.
    Previously I had Airport Express and had trouble printing. I fixed it with the workaround using HP Jetdirect with address 10.0.1.1:9101. I then upgraded to Airport Extreme and that fix did not work. I deleted the printer from Print & Fax and added again with Bonjour. Since, it has been printing sporadically. Sometimes, it simply does not print. I have tried to pin down what causes it, but I have only been able to consistently reproduce the error when trying to print from Graphic Converter. Other applications print sporadically.
    I have tried to download the new drivers from Samsung, but that has not solved it. I have tried to recreate the workaround through HP Jetdirect, but I always get a "printer busy" error when printing (using both 9100 and 9101)
    I also tried to run FixAirportPrinter and although the application sees the printer when launched, after running the application the same symptoms remain.
    Any help on how to resolve this is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Rodrigo

    This is to say that I have exactly the same problem with a Samsung CLP-310 unit. I have 2 Books as below.
    My older powerbook has no problem printing to this printer. My newer Intel unit will not print.
    If I open Airport utilities on the 10.4 Powerbook and select "Base Station options" I can see the Samsung printer under USB devices. If I repeat the process on my 10.5 Intel unit and double-click on the Airport, the properties page shows the Samsung CLP-310 but it I go to USB devices they are empty.
    What gives? The SAME Airport only prints to a USB printer if it is sent from a Power PC Book?
    The Samsung CLP-310 is connected directly to the USB Airport output.

  • Printer communication issues?: HP P2035 P1606 P1102W and Samsung CLP-315

    Dear Common Wisdom:

    After three hours with tech support on the phone we could not get my MacBook Pro to communicate with the Lexmark E360D. They suggested I return it!
    Thanks in advance for your comments.

  • Samsung CLP-315 and SmartPanel app

    I'm trying to get my Samsung CLP-315 working under Mavericks.  The printer works fine, but the Smart Panel app just throws an icon on the menu bar, but it's greyed out.  Anyone find a solution for this?

    Looks like I answered my own question.  The Smart Panel only works if you download the drivers from Samsung.  The Apple supplied drivers don't work with the Smart Panel app.  At least that's how I fixed my problem after messing with it for a few hours.

  • Samsung CLP-315 Color Laser - Issues After 10.6.3

    I've been using a Samsung CLP-315 with 10.6.x without issue until the 10.6.3 update. Now when attempting to print, jobs go to the queue and the printer light blinks (like it's receiving data), but nothing prints. The job does leave the print queue and is listed in the "Completed Jobs" list.
    I have re-installing both the Apple Samsung Driver update and the 2.0 printer drives from the Samsung support site. I have also deleted the print queue and re-created the queue. After doing all of this, it now prints every -once in a while-, but not every time. This is also a shared printer and other 10.6.3 clients on my local network have the same issue.
    Any suggestions or feedback would be great -- thanks!
    Walter

    I wanted to post about my situation, partly to add my voice, partly as a way to move on to more important and less annoying issues.
    I bought the CLP-315 about nine months ago. It worked flawlessly until about two weeks ago. I can't recall the order of events, but my problems seemed to begin when I installed the smart panel so that I could check on the number of print jobs and the estimated toner left. This may have been about the time I 1) replaced one of the toner cartridges, and 2) received the Samsung driver update.
    Sometimes it prints every other job. Sometimes it prints once after a power cycle. Sometimes the printer makes noise for about four sections as it does when it worked, but then falls silent just when I would normally hear the paper begin to move. Other times, when I try to print, I hear a simple solenoid click, then nothing.
    I wondered if it was the printer itself, until I found this discussion. Also, the printer works flawlessly if I use Bootcamp and boot into Windows XP Home.
    I have tried removing Smart Panel, using Time Machine to move the Samsung files back to a month ago, and have reset the printing system multiple times. Sometimes it seems to work a few times, but eventually it either stops working with 10.6 completely or drops every other job.
    Thanks,
    Steve

  • Samsung CLP-550N won't print with OS 10.4.6

    My Samsung CLP-550N color laser printer worked fine on my LAN until I updated my OS to 10.4.6. Now, when I spool a print job to the printer, after two seconds the print activity monitor indicates the job is on hold. It further states that the printer is "busy."
    The printer works fine with an iMac running OS 10.2.1.
    Samsung has emailed me what they call their "10.2" driver which they said would resolve the problem. It did not. Has anyone gotten this printer to work with 10.4.6?
    PowerBook g4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I have Samsung CLP-500 Color laser printer (version 4.0/157), driver version 1.7, running under 10.4.6. It works.
    For your model: is that what you have?

  • Samsung clp 315 not printing with os 10.5.8

    i have a samsung clp printer that i bought with my mbp a year and a half ago. after working nearly flawlessly for all this time, suddenly i'm having problems printing. nothing shows up in the print que after i sent it and of course nothing prints. i have re-installed both the drivers and the printer itself many times and i still can't print. i don't have access to printing on my campus because my tech support "doesn't support macs" and my mbp is apparently incompatible with every single printer on campus and the whole system. my printer is conected through my time capsule, which i connect to my mbp via ethernet cable. the wireless stopped working when i upgraded to the 1tb model. previously this configuration worked great. even when i directly connect my printer to my mbp i cannot print. are there any fixes yet??? i would happily roll back to a previous version if the issue is the latest update, however i have no idea how to do this. i purchased a mac because "it just works" and am afraid of messing something up. can anyone help!!?? i have stuff that needs to be printed for school and i'm at a total loss.

    I have the same issue. The current Samsung print driver has a bug whereby it will not print a document if the application from which you are printing is different from the application you used last time you printed. The workaround is to restart the printer whenever it does this. I have written to Samsung about this.

  • MAC OS 10.5.7 and Samsung CLP-610ND color laser printer, images very dark

    Just picked up this printer 3 days ago, set up fine prints word files fine. Any images print very dark. MY main use is printing a pdf newsletter but the print image is so dark it is useless. I have tried print as image. I have also tried a plain jpg from camera and that was also very dark. Talked to Samsung and they said it was my computer and I should return it. Not what I want to do.
    Also I took my pdf file and tried ot on other laser printers that had a Secure digital file reader and the colors were correct some with my HO color inkjet.
    So printing through adobe or preview images are too dark.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance.

    Went back to HP.com and this time was able to see and download latest driver and firmware for HP LaserJet P3005dn  Installation of new firmware was done thru the HP Printer Utility application on my iMac OS 10.7.5
    I was able to choose my printer and then upload the firmware file from the iMac to the printer. This has completely solved the problem!
    Thank you ~graffiti Not sure why I was not able to access the driver and firmware earlier from the HP site but eventually I found it.

  • Samsung CLP-300 not printing

    I recently had a problem printing from some programs (Adobe Acrobat being one) to my Samsung CLP-300 where the print queue would get to 95% and stop.
    Sometime i would get a message saying rastertosec had crashed. Before this I did not seem to have a problem with this printer under Lion.
    I found that one of the toner cartridges was almost empty and as soon as I replaced it the error completely disappeared!
    The leason is when you have printer errors or problems with Samsung lasers check the toner level! It may save you a lot of wasted time!

    FYI if you have an older Airport base station (802.11g) the firmware downgrade does not work.
    I found some help in a product review and so far it seems to be working on my system (APX Base 802.11g with 5.7 firmware and APE with firmware 6.3 and CLP-310 attached to the APE)
    Here it is.
    1. Install the drivers and printer
    2. Plug the printer into the Airport and restart the airport.
    3. Open system preferences and click Print & Fax
    4. Select + to add another printer.
    5. Choose IP at the top.
    6. Under protocol select HP JetDirect
    7. Under address use your airports IP address and specify port 9101 i.e. 10.0.1.1:9100 (the IP address is found on the main window of the Airport Utility)
    8. Under name, name it anything you'd like.
    9. Under print using, choose select a driver to use and pick your print driver. If the drivers flash up and go away, choose it again and quickly type the first few letters of the print driver. Now scroll and select it.
    10. Click okay and test some prints. If it does not work, also follow the same steps, except try port 9101 instead of 9100.

  • Can't Print B&W Only With Samsung CLP-300N

    I recently purchased an iMac to replace my XP CD. I've been a Windows XP user for a while, and had a Samsung CLP-300N attached to my network. I was able to fine-tune the printer driver settings (quality, number of copies, bw/color, etc) in Windows XP. However, i recently attached the Samsung to my Mac (Leopard 10.5.4) and the printer gets added just fine, and I'm able to print.
    However, I'd like to be able to **just print B&W** to cut down on cost. I did this in Windows by defining one printer (and adjusting the settings) for Color and one for B&W. But I can't set the B&W only on the Mac.
    I went to samsung's website and downloaded the driver - this doesn't give me a utility. When I click the Utility icon in the print queue, it takes me to the configuration webpage of the printer itself (http://192.168.1.5).
    I also installed their SPanel took which is nothing more than the configuration webpage right on your desktop; the configuration webpage gives you no options for printing B&W only.
    I tried adding the printer a second time with just a Generic Driver (hoping it would only print in B&W). No luck... the green light just flashes on the printer.
    I was wondering if a) anyone had similar issues with this printer or b) anyone knows of a suitable generic driver I can use to just print B&W.
    Thanks.

    Yes. I have similar issues. My "solution" is Bootcamp. Sounds silly, maybe, but like you I want B&W only most of the time.
    Really only takes a couple of minutes to reboot from OS X to OS XP. I assume you still have your Windows software, so you can operate as usual. I am resigned to the fact that some of the software I use has no real Mac equivalent, or I cannot afford to repurchase.
    If you come up with a B&W driver for the CLP-300, could you please post. It would probably help a few people in the same boat. Best of luck.
