Faxing from MAC to Samsung CLX-3175

Hi All,
I'm a brand new convert to MACs so please be gentle! Have just spent the last few days setting up my new MacBook Pro 13". One issue I have at present is not being able to send a document on my MAC to my multifunction Samsung printer which has a built-in fax.
On my Windows laptop, there was a piece of software called Smarthru. This allowed you to scan and fax. You could also select print from any application and select the installed Samsung Fax Printer. However Smarthru isn't available for the MAC and I can't get the MAC to recognise the printer as a fax as well as printer and scanner.
Am I missing something obvious here or is there no way to send a document on the MAC to the printer for faxing? Obviously I could print the document out and then fax it direct from the printer but this is a waste of print toner, paper and time!!
Many thanks for any advice.

It depends on your Samsung's driver working fully so that the Mac recognizes it as a fax machine. To send a fax of a document, hit command-p to open the print dialog, then hit the button that says 'PDF' plus a down-arrow. Choose 'Fax PDF', and in the pane which opens set 'Printer' to the Samsung (see whether there is a separate setting for the fax part). Enter the fax number to send to and see whether it works. If it does you probably won't get a progress bar as it sends, which is a bit disconcerting.

Samsung CLX-3175 printer (not wireless) compatability with

I have a Samsung CLX-3175 printer (not wireless)Am i right in understanding that if i connect an airport extreme to it, that it will become a wireless printer? any issues i should know about this before buying an air port? thanks all

You might want to check with Samsung support to verify if your model will work at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme. If it does, then you will be able to print from your computer using the wireless connection.
There is a good chance that the printer will work because it does appear on Apple's list of compatible models:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP
Important Note......If your printer is an All-in-One type device, only the print function will work when the printer is connected to the AriPort Extreme. Copy, Scan, Maintenance, etc will not be supported. You will need to connect the All-in-One directly to your computer for those features to be available.
If you are asking about printing from an iPad, even if your printer is supported, you will likely not be able to print from the iPad unless you install an App like Print Central on the iPad.

Built-In Fax from Mac?

Are there any built in tools for faxing?
I have an HP All in One device but in some cases it would be much more convenient to fax-from-my mac.
TIA

Use eFax to receive faxes. make sure you sign up for the free account and make sure you tell them your preference is to receive a fax are in TIFF format not in their fax program.

Unable to fax from Mac OS X 10.6 but otherwise C7280 works fine

Dear HP,
I have a C7280 connected to our LAN via RJ45 and to a phone line using the provided cord. It works fine as a stand alone fax to send and receive faxes. However, when I try to fax from my Mac (OS 10.6.8) with the most current drivers, it doesn't connect to the telephone line and only prints a couple of garbled pages on the printer. When I run a fax test from the front panel it passes all tests. I can't think of anything else to try so I am hoping you have a solution.

I can not print adobe pdf's from my samsung clx-3175

I can no longer print pdf files to my samsung. It opens and views the files correctly but when I click the print button, I get the following error: /usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstocupsraster failed
any ideas on how to fix this? I should also mention that I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe. This was done after I was on the phone with Applecare who had me perform an ACL reset for another issue I was having.
Joe

Try opening the PDF in Preview and see if it will print out of it.

HT2998 Hi, I try to conect Mac Mini from 2009 with my HD Tv Samsung F 6400 . With Mini Dvi conection and adapter to HDMI input in TV I got picture but not sound! I have analog cable from the phones out from mac but imposible to conect to TV? Can you HLP

Hi, I try to conect Mac Mini from 2009 with my HD Tv Samsung F 6400 . With Mini Dvi conection and adapter to HDMI input in TV I got picture but not sound! I have analog cable from the phones out from mac but imposible to conect to TV? Can you HLP?

You really need a newer Mac Mini with a true HDMI output, because that Mac Mini's DVI output does not support Audio.
You might try a 3.5mm to RCA adapter
from the Mac Mini's headphone jack to the TV's audio input,
but that would require being able to select the Audio input in the TVs menu while using it's HDMI input.
Optionally you could also use an external 2.1 Speaker System or patch the audio from the Mac Mini to your home stereo system to enhance that older Mac Mini's audio.

Can't install the software for the Samsung CLX-3180 Series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.

This is the the alert I keep getting when i try to add this new printer

First there is a message that software is available from Apple. You click to get it. Then it tells you that it is not currently available from the software update server.
I am running OS 10.8.2. Printer is on my home network (not USB).
I went to the Apple Software Dowload site and re-downloaded the latest "HewlettPackard Printer Drivers" (v.2.12) and installed them (twice). No dice.
Anybody found a way around this problem?
I solved all print related issues by avoiding HP, worst software I ever saw, this may not work for you though.

I want to fax from my mac using a Brother MFC-7220 Printer/fax

I'm currently using a Brother MFC-7220 Printer/Fax machine with my Mac Mini, attached via USB.
It works great as a printer, but I want to fax from within Mac Applications using the 7220.
I tried going "File/Print, then selecting the PDF pull down menu in the lower left corner of the print management window. I selected "Fax PDF..." but the system comes back with a "No Fax Modems Found.." message.
Any suggestions/solutions ?
Thanks

You may need to install the Brother drivers.
By default, Mac OS X only installs the printer drivers, ignoring other features of multi-function devices. By installing the vendor's driver you gain access to the other features.
In this case you should find that installing the driver enables a new printer option - Brother MFC-7220 (Fax) - which can be used to send your fax. So now faxing is as simple as choosing 'Print' and selecting the 'Fax' option from the list of available printers.

Cannot send fax from my mac after upgrading to yosemite

I used to be able to send a fax from my Macbook Pro by using Preview and then printing the PDF to the fax capability on my Laserjet colorMFP M475dn.
After installing OS X Yosemite:
a dialog told me that "Some of the software for the printer is missing."
When I clicked the button to install, it then said "You need to install software to use this printer... If the software isn't available in Software Update, contact the manufacturer of your printer"
Then I downloaded .dmg files for both the laserjet and officejet (I also have a photosmart I use for scanning)
I deleted the printers and tried to re-add them
When I re-add the laserjet, fax does not show up on the Printer list.
How do I get the fax driver to install on OS X Yosemite?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

My apologies for keeping you informed about reset printing system.
i have attached the screen which tells where the Use option is.
also on the screen where it displays the list of printers wait for few seconds and see if it detects the Fax. It took approx 20sec for me.
