Samsung ML1665/XEU Laser Printer or Software Problem

Some while ago for no apparent reason my printer started printing a series of large font commas down the left hand side of the page. These are about 13mm in from the edge and about 23mm apart. After another week another series of marks appeared. These are only 3mm from the LH edge of the page and the same distance apart. These look like headphones standing on their side (or an oval with a gap at the right hand side)
I've reinstalled the printer driver but it makes no difference. I've called the Samsung helpline but they are baffled. Could this be a problem with Mavericks and/or iWorks09 being incompatible with Samsung? Unfortunately, I can't remember if the marks appeared after downloading these updates or not.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I have a Canon i9900 inkjet, Kyocera Laser Printer, Toshiba B&W Copier, Toshiba Color Copier, and a RIP for a platesetter on my network. I can't select the second tray on my laser printer, it is grayed out. When I select landscape feed on my copiers it is ignored and I must feed the paper portrait direction.
There was a problem pre 10.5.2 that orientation and, I believe, the paper tray settings, were lost when printing to a windows shared printer. I am not sure if that is your setup, but your descriptions makes it sound like it might be.

Samsung ML-2010 Laser printer not working

I just hooked up my new 802.11n Airport Extreme base station, and I can't get my samsung ML-2010 laser printer working with it. The Airport Utility recognizes the printer, and bonjour installs the printer on the windows machines, but when I go to print, nothing happens. Is there a list of compatible printers for the 802.11n base station?

flemingljr, Welcome to the discussion area!

iFelix has started a list. Since the device has been in the wild only a few weeks the number of user experiences with varied printers is still small.

Officejet j6480 sometimes not printing entire image: printer or software problem or conflict?

Dell Inspiron, windows xp-pro, version 5.1 sp 3,
software: microsoft digital image 2006
I've been using digital image (DI) for several years and have never encountered this issue before now, but my printer is new and has some features I may not entirely understand.
I've created 4 separate images for a t-shirt transfer using DI. 2 images each are set up on an 8.5 x 11 layout, landscape mode. They were "cut out" and placed on each layout for printing. On my monitor, each image is a complete image: ie, no part of either image is missing or blocked out. However, when I print the document, sometimes part of one image doesn't print. The actual printed piece looks like an object or "blank" box was placed on top of the sheet of paper before printing, printed, and then taken off the printed paper leaving no ink beneath it.
DI allows you to cut out a photo and use the cut out with no background which is what I've done. The cut out follows the line of the object, dogs head, for example. The edges are not straight as if in a frame, however when the object is selected for editing, a dotted frame does appear around the edge. More than one object can be selected at one time and there can be an overlap of these frames, but once the object is deselected the frame disappears.
What really has me baffled is that the missing part of the image is squared off on two sides, is always in the same spot on the paper, completely different documents print the same way, you can see where the edge of the missing piece printed, but very light in color, and the document does print out correctly, sometimes.
Sorry to be so long winded. I'm trying to preserve the transfer paper since it is expensive and don't want to chance an incomplete printed sheet having to discard it and start over, hoping "this time it will work!"
Does anyone have any ideas? I know it sounds like a software problem but it also sounds like a printer problem, or both.

Hello @rslade , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you're having problems printing in colour. I would like to help!
Do you have any issues making a colour copy, as opposed to a print?
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also suggest running your Apple updates: OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
After the updates, I would recommend reiadding the printer:
Installing a Mac Printer Driver Using Apple Software Update
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Can no longer print to a Samsung CLP-310 laser printer since upgrade to LR 4.3

Sometimes I need to print a draft photo to the Samsung for various reasons. I have had this printer for 4 years and never had a problem printing from LR until now. The printer will go on, go through its cycles and then shut completely off and then come back on and eject a blank sheet. I can print from any other program including photos from Aperture without any issues. Only since LR-4 had I had this issue.
I tried many settings such as smaller scale pictures, draft mode, etc., to ensure I was not exceeding the Samsung printer's parameters. Again, this printer worked since Lightroom Beta. LR-4 prints great photos to my Epson inkjet printer w/o any problems. Any ideas what changed? Thanks! Andy

I should probably rephrase my question:
Has anyone had a printer of any kind that worked fine until the latest LR version and were you able to fix it without resorting to printer specific methods (drivers, etc.)? If yes, what adjustment did you make to correct this? If there is one, it might be universal.... thanks!
My computer is an iMac... thanks!

How do I setup a Samsung CLP300 color laser printer

I got this from a friend at work. I am running Tiger on my mac. I plan to update to Leopard soon, so I hope I can use this printer with either OS version. I got it home and hooked it up to one of my macs. It comes up with the name "Adobe PDF 8.0". When I go to the printer setup in System Preferences, it says it is unknown. It show up as a printer. When I try to print to it, nothing happens. Am I missing something? I think my friend said there was a CD that came with it. He is going to try and find it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Tried this but it didn't fix the problem.
When I go into Print Utility and click "Add" I get back "Adobe PDF 8.0" as the printer name. If I click on it, I can not set the "Model". The Samsumg CLP-300 installation section says that it will show up as "Samsung", and I should enter the model number...
Not sure what else to try. Anyone else have any ideas?

I HAVE A SAMSUNG LASER PRINTER AND CANNOT GET SOFTWARE FOR IT

Trouble printing with Leopard and Samsung USB laser printer

I just purchased a Samsung SCX-4200 laser printer/scanner/copier. After installing 10.5-compatible drivers from the Samsung website, I'm unable to get the printer to work. Print+Fax recognizes the printer fine and the proper driver appears in the pulldown menu so all seems good there. But every time I go to print a document (I've tried numerous apps), the job begins spooling to about 6%-8% (depending on document tried) and then I get a message in the queue window that says 'Waiting for USB printer to respond.' and the job just hangs there. The job list shows the document as printing and the Print+Fax window shows the printer as in use, but no matter what I try, this thing just won't print. I've tried restarting the computer, rebooting the printer, an older version of the drivers that came with the printer (says OS 10.3-10.4 only) and myriad other tricks, but no dice.
Anyone have any advice? Thanks!

Well to follow up I finally heard back from Epson support...this was the response (note that it says nothing that I did not tell them already).
Thank you for taking the time to contact Epson. It is my pleasure to
respond to your inquiry. Color management is an art, make sure that only
the application or the driver is handling the management. Turn off the
management in the driver if you are allowing Photoshop or other software to
handle the color management. Also make sure when you are allowing
Photoshop to handle the color that you select the proper printer profile.
It's very hard to help with color management via email, you may want to
check some of the on-line color management websites on google.

Totally useless as I explained in detail that I had already done all of this and was very familiar with color management and the process of using it. And that it was not until the latest OS-X and Epson's driver that the problems started.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.2, I cannot print to my Samsung laser printer ML 2525w? How can I get this set up to print?

After upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on my iMac, I cannot print to my Samsung B&W Laser printer ML 2525W either by USB or wireless. Any help on how to setup or reconfigure would be apprecaited.
I either print blank pages or prints one time then goes off line, or spits out a bunch of blank paper, etc. Have gone through all the standard fixes, reboot, reset , reload driver, etc.

From the link to the Thread you provided, I worked through the one message procedures that were listed.
For ease of reference, I have copied them and printed them below. This was an old thread but the guidance still works with no firmware upgrade required.
I would stress that you MUST delete any and all files relating to USB connection of the printer to the MAC, including all print drivers (from both Apple and Samsung either from CD or web downloads) and all print queues, etc. I was only able to get the printer to properly hand shake with my Mac by setting it up wirelessly after all old files were deleted with hard power off reboots on both the Mac and Printer.
I hope that someone from Apple will pass this note along to their programing department because there is some type of incompatibility in the new ML OS and the Samsung ML2525w print dirvers used for a cable (USB) type connection. Apple needs to be talking to Samsung to get the USB issue resolved. I am going to post this same message on the Samsung site to see if someone from there will contact Apple to work together on a final solution for USB connectivity.
Here is the steps I followed to get my ML2525w to work in the wireless mode. Again, I cannot stress the need to clean out all the old files (drivers, print queues, etc. - everything) before setting up wirelessly.
As a note, I ran this printer with Lion for almost 2 years and it always worked fine (both wireless and USB). From other comments on the thread, users were good with this printer using Lep. and Snow Lep also. - - no issues from either a USB connection or wireless until Mountain Lion.
Before the fix, I was experiencing many of the same issues as described on user chat threads, printer going offline after a print job. 1st page sometimes printing but all the rest of the pages were garbage. No printing at all. Printer just running a bunch of blank pages out. etc.
I run an iMAC 27" desktop with the ML OS upgrade just installed from Lion.
"I've just installed one of these printers for my parents.
First of all, don't waste your time connecting the ML-2525W as a USB printer. The printer will go offline after each print job. It's hopeless, at least (I assume) until Samsung gets around to publicly releasing a firmware update.
Instead, you have to use the ML-2525W as a wireless printer. In that mode, it works fine.
This is what I did:
(1) First, if you have already attempted to install the Samsung driver software from the included CD-ROM, uninstall it. Get the uninstaller from the Samsung support site:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/ML-2525W
Download the "Printer Driver (ver. 4.0)" ZIP file. It unzips to a folder that contains the uninstaller. Likewise, download the "Smart Panel Driver" ZIP file and uninstall the Smart Panel software.
(2) Disconnect the USB cable from the printer, if it is connected. Pull the power plug on the printer and power cycle it.
(3) Restart your Mac.
(4) Go to the "Printer Driver (ver. 4.0)" folder that you previously unzipped. Inside it is a folder named "WirelessSetting". Open the folder and run the "Wireless Setting.app".
(5) The application will ask you to connect the USB cable to the printer. Do so, and the Mac should be able to communicate with the printer to perform the wireless setup.
(6) The application will show you a list of wireless networks. One of them is the wireless interface in the printer (ad-hoc). You can ignore that unless you intend to use the printer without connecting to another wireless network. In my case, I selected the wireless network in my parents' home (infrastructure) and entered the security passphrase. The application then configured the wireless interface in the ML-2525W to connect to the home network.
(7) The Wireless Setting application will then tell you to disconnect the USB cable.
(8) After finishing the Wireless Setting application, go to Word, Textedit, Pages, or Safari, and select a file or page to print. In the print dialog window, you should see the ML-2525W as a "Nearby Printer" (i.e. via Bonjour). Select the ML-2525W, and your Mac will automatically connect to Apple's Software Update and download the latest Samsung driver. If for any reason the Software Update download does not succeed, you can manually download and install the Apple driver using the previously published link in this discussion.
(9) After that, you should be able to print to the ML-2525W whenever you want, without the printer going offline.
(10) If you have a USB printer queue still in your Print & Fax Preferences (from your previous unsuccessful attempt to connect via USB), you can delete it. You only need to keep the Bonjour queue.
Obviously YMMV, but in my case this procedure got the printer working reliably without the need for a firmware update."

Printing problem on laser printer attached to Windows XP

Hi,
I am trying to print a test page on Samsung ML-2510 laser printer connected and shared on Win XP. I have a green dot for this printer in Print & Fax on Mac, all looks cool. But I get the message 'On Hold (Authentication required) with red circle in printer status window on Mac. When I hit 'resume printing of selected jobs' it asks me to enter username and password for XP. I do, I hear the printer starting to print something but no page is printed. I have no problems using this printer from other XP machines.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

THIS WORKS, THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
I just purchased a vista home premiun computer and was having the same issue making my hp 5150 printer work through a networked xp system that the printer is physically attached to..It now works.. procedure= ( on the vista computer ) remove all old printers and printer drivers from previous attempts.
Go to this address and download this driver http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?os=2093&softwareitem=dj-46093-3&lc=en&cc=us... HP_Vista_SF_Ph1.exe ,,click on it and let it install. when it ask if installing a local or network printer (choose network ) continue install. It may tell u the drivers may not install properly, ( install anyway ) It may again tell you the drivers did not install correctly ( do not fix just keep them installed incorrectly ) now leave the print test page window open.
Go to add printer wizard and install new printer ( network printer ) add a local port and type EXACTLY the same path to the xp based printer EXAMPLE= \\lisajunk\printer .....finish wizard and print test page...
I done nothing to the xp computer, my printer and drivers work good on my other networked computers which use xp operating system.
I believe creating the correct port and having the correct path on the vista machine is the key to making this work. I use xp pro SP1 on an old antique 400mhz gateway that my printer is physically attached to.. You need to make sure the printer is being shared on the machine it is physically attached too.

Laser printing from Indesign CS4 to Oki laser C5750

I am printing booklets which contain mostly text with quite a few B/W photographs and colour photographs. I have iMac running OS 10.6.5 with Indesign CS4 printing to OKI C5750 laser printer. The problem is that I am using the colour toner at a very rapid rate (about 400 pages before one or more of them runs out) I am sure my personal density factor is high but I cannot find a way to set print settings to minimise the use of colour toner (other than one tick box).
The manuals do not seem to help nor does the Oki tech support (although they are very pleasant). Is there anyone who can advise so that I do overspend my small pension?

Glad the image mode check worked out. I hate to tell you how common it is to find "grayscales" that are really RGB with a filter or desaturated.

Can anyone recommend a laser printer for Mac OS 10.7.3?

I recently bought a new iMac only to discover my old samsung printer is not compatible. Any suggestions on a new laser printer?

And a third.
I like this one: http://www.brother-usa.com/printer/ModelDetail.aspx?ProductID=HL2270DW#
Street price is about $100.
I have an earlier model, since discontinued. It's 100% reliable and about $1100 less than the last laser printer I bought.
If you're in the market for a printer I strongly recommend a manufacturer that actively supports OS X, Lion in particular, and does not treat the Mac market as an afterthought. Wireless network capable is a must. Brother meets all those requirements.
AirPrint would be nice but is not necessary - there are alternatives to AirPrint.
What model Samsung printer do you have? There may be a way to make it work. Here are a couple potentially relevant posts:

Samsung laser printer can't print via Airport

I can no longer get my Samsung laser printer (ML-1210) to print via my Airport Extreme Base Station network. All I get is the Printer Center telling me that it can't find the printer. Prior to OS X 10.4.4 and Airport Firmware update 5.7 no problems, after OS X 10.4.4 and Airport Firmware update 5.7 some types of documents (.pdf) would print sometime and some types (.rtd) wouldn't print at all. After OS X 10.4.5 nothing prints.
So far a direct USB connection seems to print OK, as far as regular text files (Rich, and Plain) are concerned.

I tried so many things I'm dizzy. Nothing done to the computer, not even clean installing OS 10.4 on an external HD and booting from that worked. What seems to have finally worked (????) was reverting the AEBS Firmware version down to version 5.5.1.
Since I print so infrequently I'm not going to say it's all OK until I do some more testing/printing.
In the mean time if anyone can give me an specific idea why this conflict may be happening and what else I can do to fix it without running my AEBS with older Firmware I would be grateful.
The latest driver for Samaung ML-1210 is a couple of years old and I think it is a proprietary code (not something standard like PostScript).
I'm not sure if it's only the AEBS Firmware or a combination of conflicts between the "OS Version-Printer Driver-AEBS Firmware".
Thanks.

20" Intel iMac and Samsung Laser Printer

I ordered my new 20" Intel iMac last Saturday, the 14th. From day one, it said estimated ship was Jan. 24th. Yesterday I checked the status and it still said the 24th, but it also said estimated delivery for Jan. 31st. I was sad because when i ordered it, it said estimated ship 3-5 business days. Jan. 24th would be longer than that. So I checked my e-mail this morning, and lo and behold, I have an e-mail from Apple saying my new computer shipped out this morning, making it 5 business days since I ordered it (4 if they considered Monday a holiday). I just wanted to reassure others that the ship date may not be as late as it's estimated.
My question is this... I have a Samsung laser printer (the ML-1740) hooked up to my fiance's Windows XP machine. My Sony Vaio desktop (which I'm giving to my mom) can see the printer just fine. It prints just as if it was hooked up to it. My Powerbook however, cannot see the Samsung printer over the network. I'm a nursing student and print out tons of text only stuff, so I really need to use the laser printer with my new Mac. I've see a lot of different discussions on Mac drivers for this particular model, but I haven't tried any of them on my Powerbook, and I'm curious as to whether or not any of them would even work with the new Intel Mac. My other question is whether or not there is any way I can get my iMac to see the printer on the Windows. I don't necessarily have to install drivers on the Mac if I don't need to. I just need a solution to make it work. If I have to install something, that's fine. If I can just make it print over the network, that's great too. I don't ever use any of the settings the Samsung software provides, so just basic printing is fine. I just don't want to have to e-mail all my documents to myself and then go to the Windows machine to have to print. I apologize if any of this is confusing. What are some of the things I can try to make this work? Or can someone point me in another direction to get the answers. I was stupid in not realizing that the printer didn't support Mac OS X when I bought it, even though I already have one Mac. Thanks so much! I love these forums!

My shipping was the same way, maybe they had a supply shortage of RAM or just a long queue of computers waiting for upgrades and not enough people to perform them. Mine shipped today with an estimate of for the 25th.
I have looked around on Apples site and couldn't find anything about supported printers. You will have to install some form of driver on the Mac. You will have to make sure the PC has it shared correctly. Read about printer sharing in the windows help files. I don't know any more off hand.
