  • 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.

  • [Solved] Samsung SCX-4300 Printer Problem

    Hi everyone. I installed Arch Linux today. Everything is fine except printer. I am using Samsung SCX-4300 printer and scanner. Scanner works fine but CUPS doesn't see the printer. I can't see anything on CUPS web interface's Local Printers area. Here is a screenshot.
    I can see my printer in lsusb command:
    Bus 002 Device 004: ID 062a:0201 Creative Labs Defender Office Keyboard (K7310) S Zodiak KM-9010

    So why I can not see my printer and how can I fix that?

    I have a very similar printer (SCX-4500W) and found that I was able to get it working as a printer but that I could not get both print and scan functions to work at the same time.
    In order to get the printer going I had to add a file to /etc/udev/rules.d/71-scx4500w.rules with the content as a single line:
    ATTR{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTR{idProduct}=="342b", MODE:="0664", GROUP:="lp", ENV{libsane_matched}:="yes"
    You will need to change the idVendor and idProduct in the line above to match that for your own printer from the lsusb command instead of those above for the SCX-4500W.
    I would also suggest that you use the splix drivers package - i.e. make sure that the splix package is installed with:
    # pacman -S splix
    Then when you add the printer select the splix drivers which will work with that printer (you should check the splix support page to check your printer is supported but I am pretty sure it is)
    Once that is done then you need to start the cups.socket daemon with the following command as root (exclude the # which is the prompt)
    # systemctl start cups.socket
    and if it then works, and allows you to add the printer,  then you also need to "enable" the same daemon so that it starts after the next boot as well:
    # systemctl enable cups.socket
    One other thing is that if you want your printer to be discoverable as a cups remote printer on your local network you will need avahi-daemon running on the server to which the printer is attached, as well as on any machine which needs to see it - check the arch wiki on how to set that up if you need it.
    I hope this helps.

  • OS Lion and Samsung ML-1660 printer problem

    Since downloading OS Lion my ML-1660 laser printer won't print unless I switch it off then switch it back on.  It then prints OK.   If I want to print another document I have to sw. off and on again.   This problem doesn't happen on my Epson RX520 3 in 1 printer.
    I've downloaded the latest Samsung driver software but this makes no difference.   Can anyone advise how I can rectify this, please?

    Hi, I have the same problem with Maverick, with mountain lion worked perfect. in the get this error: The function `CGContextErase 'is obsolete and will be removed in an upcoming update. Unfortunately, This application, or a library it uses, is using this obsolete function, and is thereby Contributing to an overall degradation of system performance.

  • I'm trying to get my new airport extreme to print wirelessly to my samsung clx usb printer and not having any luck.  I downloaded the bonjour print wizard and I know there's a signal going to the printer, but it still will not print?  Any ideas?

    I'm trying to wirelessly print to my samsung printer.  I've downloaded the bonjour printer wizard and could tell that a signal was going to my printer but it still would not print.  Anyone have any ideas?

    You didn't state how it's connected to each computer, if it's connected through your router then it should work. If it doesn't then you need to contact Canon and ask for assistance.

  • How to print double sided with macbook pro on Samsung CLX-3180?

    Hi,
    I recently switched to using a macbook pro but cannot figure out how to print double sided/two-sided.
    The printer I am using is Samsung CLX-3180 and it allows double-sided printing. I was able to do this with my windows computer previously.
    The frustrating thing is that I see the two-sided feature but I cannot figure out how to turn it on. There is no option to change it.
    It is listed here.
    First, I go to "show presets."
    Then, I click on "copies & pages" but I cannot turn it on.
    Does anyone know how to turn it on?
    Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi nat.the.musical,
    If you are having issues selecting two-sided printing from the Print window, you may find the following article helpful (it is aimed at Mountain Lion, but should also apply to Mavericks):

  • Samsung CLX-2160N Network Printer - How?

    All,
    Thanks in advance for the support I know you'll be able to provide.  Here's my trouble.
    I have a CLX-2160N printer from Samsung that I am trying to get connected to.  It is running on my network, at the IP address 192.168.1.18. I've tried installing it via the Samsung Universal Print Drivers installation and via CUPS/Gnome Print manager.  They all detect it just fine, but never are able to finish the connection.  I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
    Any good guides or advice to make this work?  I've tried a couple of the HowTo's for other Samsung Printers, but I've yet to make it work. 
    I welcome any advice you may have.
    Thanks again in advance,
    Dave

    Alright..... It took me a few days to find where "Image Capture" is on my French OS. Here it is called "Transfert d'images"!!! Fun, fun, fun....
    Now, let me try to clear a few things:
    - I never said I use a wireless network. I use wired Ethernet.
    - As far as I understand the quote I posted last time, VewScan is compatible with the Samsung scanner when connected trought USB.
    I tried Image Capture. I read the help file. This soft can find only USB, Firewire or SCSI connected scanners, and eventualy..... a connected scanner to an wired computer as long as it is OS 10.3, same mask as the main Mac...
    Image Capture does searches on the computer and on the network, but it sees only what an OS X shares.
    Kappy, I'd love your ideas to work, but I think it is not for this time!
    Thank you, -Yves.

  • Error Adding Printer Samsung CLX-3180 Series OSX 10.9

    MacBook Pro Retinta Display OS X 10.9.4 8 G RAM; 2 GHz Intel Core
    I am having troubling adding a printer to my recently purchased Macbook
    I downloaded the drivers from the Samsung website for the CLX-3180 Series, the software installs (at least it says it did).
    I then go to add printer under printers/scanners and select Samsung CLX-3180 Series from the window. Messages indicate that the software was downloaded and updated and then I get the message "An error occurred while trying to add the selected device; Unable to find an appropriate software on your system after running software update."
    I then reset the printer system, update the system software, restarted the laptop and tried again; still get the same error message.
    No clue what to do next.

  • Printing pics to a Samsung CLX-6200

    I just bought a new Samsung CLX-6200 laser color, multifunction printer. It has a multi purpose tray which I load with 4x6 photo paper. I am not able to figure out in Snow Leopard how to change the paper size and select this tray. Can anyone help please?
    Thanks!

    In the Print Dialog, you can select the appropriate paper using the Paper Size menu underneath Copies and the page range fields. If you do not see this menu, and you have expanded the dialog box using the disclosure triangle to the right of the printer's name, what application are you using? To select the tray, select the Paper Feed panel in the menu that has the application's name.
    Hope this helps.

  • Printing Problems with Samsung SCX-4600

    When I try to print from r.0 Beta 12 to my Samsung SCX-4600 printer I get very long printouts with lots of space between each character. The result is unreadable. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Caused by a Bug in 4.0b12. It is fixed in the 4.0RC version which should be released this week.

    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.

  • Printing Problem - Incomplete multiple page print job - until paper runs out

    I'm on Mac OS 10.9.3 printing to a Samsung CLX-6250FX. This is a network printer used by all the Apple/Window computers in this office.
    I am having terrible problems recently with printing multiple page documents - excel, word, email, pdf etc. I am spending a fortune in paper and printer cartridges.
    The print job does not complete and the last page printed, the following message prints:
    ERROR: syntaxerror
    OFFENDING COMMAND: true        cvt      Tfpgm     nglyf      '   ^  head
    STACK:
    -mark-
    /sfnts
    Then the same printer job restarts and fails at the same point until the printer tray runs out of paper (unless the print job is aborted and/or the printer is turned off and turned on again)!!
    The specific error message displayed by the printer software is either "Remote host did not accept data file (32)" or "Remote host did not accept data file (105)".
    I haven't seen any pattern whatsoever in terms of application used.
    I have deleted the printer and reloaded the driver from the disk supplied with the printer. I have checked to see that I am running the most recent driver.
    I've already reset the printing system, but that didn't fix it.
    I have seen this problem on various support communities pages, but for different printers.
    I have yet to see a solution - Any other recommendations please?

    The error message you see printed is a Postscript error. With your printer, postscript (normal output type from applications) is converted to the printer's page description language before being sent to the printer. So, I believe the problem is in some part of the driver software.
    For first step, I would try restarting from the Recovery partition and repair the hard drive using Disk Utility. You can repair permission, too. This is trying to correct a corrupted file.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718
    (just read the first paragraph)
    If that doesn't fix it, I would try downloading and installing the latest driver for the printer.
    Come back for more if that still doesn't work.
