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.

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 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 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.

How to install a samsung clp 310 driver in the time capsule

how to install a samsung clp 310 driver in the time capsule ?

You do not install the printer driver on the Time Capsule, you install it on your Mac.
Check with Samsung Support for details on how to download and install the driver to your Mac.
Then use System Preferences > Print & Scan to see if your printer is compatbile. Not all printers are compatible with the USB port on the Time Capsule, so if your printer does not appear, it ls likely not compatible for this purpose.

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!

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 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.

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.

How do i install on samsung gt-p5113

As long as you have network access and a Google Play account, you should be able to open Google Play, search for Adobe Reader, and then install from there.
Does that work for you?

Just double-click the zip file to open it.
There is no Mac version of Access, so how you're going to open the Access file remains to be seen.

How to open or install fonts from a .suit file under Lion?

How to open or install fonts from a .suit file under Lion? Thanks!

although I believe I *have* used the .suit extension when I was creating suitcase files for TrueType fonts.
You can get away with that because you haven't really changed anything. It's already a suitcase file, with a Type code of FFIL (the Creator code is mostly irrelevant). Adding .suit still tells the OS it's a suitcase.
However, if you do something silly like change the Type code to LWFN (the outline portion of a PST1 set), then neither Font Book, or any other font manager knows what to do with it. It's recognizing the LWFN code, but the data structure of course doesn't match. The file is still a Mac legacy TrueType font. Suitcase Fusion 5 tosses this on the screen when I change the Type code to the wrong one:
Changing the extension to something obviously wrong, like .otf produces the same message. It's trying to parse the data according to what the extension says it is, and nothing lines up.
Trying to use .ttf or .ttc also doesn't work. A Mac legacy suitcase TrueType font is not built the same as a .ttf or .ttc font. Either is technically correct (it is a TrueType font), but that's the only similarity. What's happening in that case is Mac legacy TT fonts have all of the data in the resource fork. When you add .ttf or .ttc to the name, the OS and any font manager then tries to find the data in the data fork. Nothing there.

I am having issues with installing a Ricoh MP C2500 printer on Lion in my MBPro Ci7

I am having issues with installing a Ricoh MP C2500 printer on Lion in my MBPro Ci7 Where is appletalk or the replacement?
My it guy has set all the Ricoh (The only brand of printers we use.) to enable Appletalk. I am unable to see how to enable appletalk or an equivalent on Lion and have spent 3 hours now searching for it. If I connect to the printer via TCP/IP it prints random characters. I have a Ricoh working for another moddle but I am needing to use this machine. HELP!!!!!

AppleTalk has been gone eons ago. Connect via USB and see what happens. If you are networking the printer then advise on your connection set up.

How to Install & Configure Samsung CLP-510N?

Hi,
I have downloaded and installed the software driver from Samsung website for CLP-510N but unable to find the printer under the add printer option.
I have then configured the IP address for the CLP-510N in a XP PC. Key-in the IP under the IP in add printer, it came out as generic post script driver, instead of Samsung's driver. Also the Samsung printer installed in the MacBook is no where to appear in this process.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Well, you've certainly clarified that it is not a Mac issue but an issue with the printer or printer driver. I have nothing to do with deleting the discussion. Lots of things may relate to Apple products, but Apple prefers that the Discussions restrict themselves to Apple product support, not third-party product support as in your particular case. If you need clarification of this then please read the Terms of Use by clicking on the Help & Terms of Use link in the right sidebar of this page.
Understand I'm not trying to give you a hard time. All that I told you before was that these Discussions are not meant to provide support for third-party products. If you felt that offended you, then accept my apologies.
