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.

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.

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.

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.

How do I install a samsung clp-315 printer under Lion?

I have upgraded to Lion. This morning I uninstalled my Samsung CLP-315 printer (I was trouble shooting & thought it would be easy to re-install). When I try to re- install via the system preferences my computer recognises the printer is there and tries to get the software to drive it from
When I click Add I get this message:
I have also tried downloading the driver from Samsung's Web site but I still can't re-install the printer.
Would appreciate comments/help to get it going again.
Thanks

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.

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

Dear Common Wisdom:
Has anyone had problems communicating with any of these printers?
HP P2035 P1606 P1102W and Samsung CLP-315
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.
CJ

"After three hours with tech support on the phone"
Apple, HP & Samsung?

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 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-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.

Can not print with HP LaserJet 6L since the upgrade to Mavericks.

Can not print with HP LaserJet 6L since the upgrade to Mavericks. Any alternative driver for this printer?

I have an HP LaserJet 5P and had the same problem. My LaserJet is connected to a D-Link ethernet print server, then to an Airport Express to support wireless printing.
As recommended in earlier posts, I first downloaded the Gutenprint HP drivers at Sourceforge, version 5.2.9 That did not work. Then found the reference to the Apple kb here: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl907
Downloaded these drivers. When setting up the printer, I got the autoselect option for Generic Postscript Printer and used that. Printer worked, but printed out garbage. I then deleted the printer, and this time selected the HP LaserJet 5P CUPS + Gutenprint v.5.2.9 THAT WORKED! I don't know if was the combination of downloading the drivers from Sourceforge and the Apple kb, or just the Apple kb that solved the problem, but I'm glad this is now sorted.
I was a bit surprised when I hit this snag to begin with because the last upgrade I did from Lion to Mountain Lion, I did not have this issue. It was seamless.

Can not Print with HP LaserJet 5000 and Epson AcuLaser C9100

I am using MacBook Pro 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 with Mac OS X (10.6.6)
I already install the latest print driver from the Apple Software Update website.
The driver for HP is Ver. 17.5 & for Epson is Ver. 5.2
I connect two of the printer to my Belkin Surf N300 wireless N Router with ethernet cable.
The error when print to HP LaserJet 5000 is as follow:-
Unable to get printer status (Not Implemented)!
Network host 'x.x.x.x' is busy; will retry in 30 seconds...
This error can stay forever if I do not delete the print job
The error when print to Epson AcuLaser C9100 is as follow:-
Printer not responding
This error can stay forever if I do not delete the print job
Previously I can print with my emac with OS X 10.4.10, but now I can not print with 2 of my printer.
My 2 printer are in good condition, so this is not the printer problem.
Please, do anyone know how to fix this problem fast, because I need to use this two printer for my business.
Thanks in advance.

That is not what Greg needs to know. That is just the way that the IP addresses are assigned to the printers.
Your problem is probably that the printers were probably originally found by AppleTalk. AppleTalk is not included in Snow Leopard. If the printers support Bonjour, they should be found that way. Otherwise, you have to use other methods.
How did you add your printers on the new computer? If you delete them from Print & Fax, how would you add them again?

Elements 11 will not print with Epson R2000?

Cannot make Elements 11 work with new Epson r2000 printer. Prompt on screen states it is not compatible or settings are not correct. Epson tech support worked on it, said to contact without success, said to contact Adobe. Printer works fine on all other applications. Help please.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the follow up.
Barbara Brundage in the Photoshop Elements Forum will probably have the answer to your Photoshop Elements Epson scanner issue. Look into that Twain driver. She will give you good input on all this.
Also, see your other thread about Adobe telephone contact information. I have posted in that other thread also.

Lightroom 2.5 not printing with main account user but prints with a new use

I have been troubleshooting all day. My new epson r280 is not printing with LR2.5 though it prints in other applications fine. Called epson and we are sure that I have the latest drivers, etc. Called Adobe and they had me create a new user in accounts in system preferences-accounts. When I tried printing from the "test user" LR printed with my epson printer. Adobe said the problem was with my system permissions and I had to reset my system permissions. This doesn't sound right to me. I ran disk utility and repaired my permissions but LR still doesn't print using my original user. Genius Book suggests going to Library-Preferences and to delete the plist. Does this sound right? And do I delete the p-list for LR or for the epson printer? What happens when you delete a p-list? Will I lose my catalog in LR? I would appreciate any help on this problem.

Just trying again to see if anyone has any solutions for this question. Thanks

Officejet Pro 8500A is not printing with Yellow cartridge. Full cartridge and good health ...

I have an OfficeJet Pro 8500 which is not printing with the Yellow cartridge. Printing with the Cyan, Magenta, and Black cartridges is fine. Diagnostics show all cartridges properly installed and having adequate ink supplies.I replaced the Yellow cartridge with a brand new XL cart, but to no avail. I cleaned the orifice with Isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab, thinking perhaps there was some dried ink or an impurity there. The problem still exists.There are no error messages, either via software or at the printer itself. The printer is out of warranty (imagine that!).I have used HP products for well over 15 years, partly because HP support has been historically excellent. After reading some of the posts on these forums, it seems that HP has allowed their support quality to diminish - significantly. I hope that is not the case in real life.Any ideas out there?

I am having same problem. OfficeJet Pro 8500A Premium. Not printing with Yellow. First replaced Yellow cartridge with new, then spoke with HP Support yesterday and was told that the Black and Yellow Printhead must need to be replaced, at a cost of $49. New Printhead arrived today, inserted and still having same issue with YELLOW! So, for the cost of a new Multi-Pack of print cartridges (which had the Yellow I used to replace the low ink), and the new Printhead, I could have purchased a NEW CANNON PRINTER. I have used HP Products for over 20 years - both professionally (HP Plotters) and at home (always HP Printers, Scanners, Multi-devices, etc. I am VERY frustrated!
