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 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.

  • 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 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 510 and OS Tiger Classic

    My Samsung CLP 510 usb printer just prints fine in OS Tiger with the driver provided by Samsung. However when i try a printout in classic, it does not work. The printer is connected via usb. The chooser option with the laserwriter 8 does not work. If i try to print there is the message, that the printer is not available. The desktop printer utility in classic does not find the CLP as an usb device.
    So i tried the LPD option with the TCP adress from my mac and the printer queue name provided by OS Tiger. If i try to print there is the following error message: error -8873 printer is busy or switched off.
    Powermac G5 dual 2.0   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Thanks Greg,
    finally I found out what is going wrong. The firewall in os x tiger should be configured with active printer sharing. The print monitor for classic should be deactivated.
    The desktop printer utlility is not able to recognize some usb printers. So I decided to configure it as LPD Printer with the adress of my G5. The printer queue should be the exact name as in OS Tiger. So I created two desktop printers, one for the Samsung CLP, the other one for my HP Laserjet 3015. All print jobs are now transfered to the Cups OS X drivers. Works like a charm.

  • 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

    Hi,
    I bought a Samsung CLP-300 and I am not able to print correctly. All Text is moved to the right side, like this:
    LM = left margin
    RM = right margin
    T = Text
    it is like:
    LM                        RM
            TTTTTTTTTTTT
    but should be like:
    LM                        RM
         TTTTTTTTTTT
    For some people does it work, how can I get it working??

    The CLP-300 is the same printer as the Xerox 6110. Both printers don't work with Office 2004 or 2008 with OX 10.5.
    This is s KNOWN PROBLEM since at least late November. Answers from Apple, Xerox, Samsung have been VAGUE to ZERO. Some Microsoft "MVP" keeps saying that bug fixes are in the works, but it's now been a few months and...nothing.
    I'm still blown away that no one can give us a straight answer on this!!!

  • Leopard and the Samsung CLP-300

    I cannot print with manual duplex! its killing me i cant print out my school notes... i spent a few hours talking to samsung and they told me its an issue with leopard!? ... this is my first experience with a mac after being a pc user for my whole life... I used to sell these macs saying they were very awesome only to find myself in trouble.. =(
    if someone has a solution for me. or knows some kind of work around this issue with my macbook pro and my samsung clp-300 so that i can select to print double sided [manual duplex] please let me know! email me at [email protected] please!

    I have exactly the same problem on my new MacBook Pro using the CLP-600N - I have the latest model as of March 2008 - I can print from all programs except MS word 2008, which prints blank pages and the print preview shows nothing.
    It took the apple store about an hour to figure out it was the printer driver but they didn't anything in their data base about the problem - this blog is the first time I have seen any data on this problem.
    Has anyone actually corrected the problem? Obviously this is a pain in the butt and the Samsung printer is our office printer and it works for everyone else including a MacBook Pro that is about 6 months old - go figure that one out.

  • Samsung CLP-315W to wirelessly work with OS 10.8.2?

    I know this printer CAN work with my network, it has worked with the current firmware and network printer settings, however it doesn't want to connect recently. Can someone please explain how best to set up a stable static network connection with the printer? Here's what's happened thus far. I have uninstalled the smart panel and the driver and reinstalled it fresh with the newest ones. Both are installed.  When I plug in a USB I get a modern app dialog that allows me to access the settings, when I connect it via a wired ethernet connection I can access the Sync Thru setup dialog through any web browser.  Other websites say that if I connect via either of those methods and change the setup to Static IP, switch the address, save it and then disconnect the blue light wireless capability should turn on within 20 seconds. The problem is it does not.
    Please help me! You would be a hero to many people who got suckered into purchasing this wonderful printer with the WORST customer support ever.

    Thank you for your reply.
    The PDF I am having trouble with when using Safari is a "Weight Workout" that www.activtrax.com automatically creates as an URL and automatically opens using Reader.  When I used Adobe Reader 10.1.5, the print symbol showed up.  However, when I installed Reader version 11.0.01, only a black screen appeared and no print symbol showed up when I moved my mouse cursor.  So, I went back to using version 10.1.5. 
    ActivTrax states "Your default pdf viewing program will open and display the Workout form."  Someone suggested making Preview my default PDF viewing program?  Do you know how to do this?  If I could make Preview my default PDF viewing program, would doing so prevent me from accessing materials from websites that say that you must have Reader installed to view the item?
    In additon, when I open email PDF email attachments, they open in Preview and not Reader.  But PDFs that websites create automatically open in Reader. 
    Thanks for your assistance!

  • Why yahoo/gmail retrieval and facebook app so so slow when in WIFI. But using the internet to check for emails and facebook is fast using the same WIFI connection??

    Why yahoo/gmail retrieval and facebook app so so slow when in WIFI. But using the internet to check for emails and facebook is fast using the same WIFI connection??

    Hi SandyS_VZW,
    Yes tried resetting the wifi connection and problem still persist.
    Here it is...to make it clear. Connected thru the same wifi at home...
    -> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook WEBSITES are working fine and fast when using/accessing thru a browser (chrome/samsung browser) - no problem with this.
    -> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook APP is soooooo sloooww (thru the App). Slow I mean comparing it to using their browser/websites... news feeds/emails refreshing so quickly but not when using the APP installed in Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Slow like - It will take around 5-10minutes just to get your emails and news feed refreshed.
    THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN CONNECTED THRU A WIFI which has a speed of 10-20mb. It is not happening when connected to the network data/plan.
    My wife has the same Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (coming from different provider at&t) - same setup (emails, fb app), same wifi connection, but she's not experiencing anything like it.
    Not sure why, I dont want to believe that while connected to a WIFI, Verizon is restricting anything and ******* me off to make me switch to my data plan connection everytime - which is Unfair!
    Was there a known issue similar about this case?
    thanks,
