Samsung Printer Driver

We have two PowerBooks G4s (OS 10.3.9), which both print over our Airport wireless hub to a Samsung laser printer, ML-1710P. This setup has been working fine.
Recently one of the printers lost its ability to print. After pressing the print button, an error message came up: "Word cannot print due to a problem with the current printer. Make sure you have a printer selected in Print Center. You may need to print again or adjust your printer settings." Another message sometimes read that there was an error due to memory (paraphrased). The other PowerBook prints fine, so the printer and Airport seem to be OK.
I had made no recent changes to the computers (new programs, etc.) so I assumed that the printer drivers were corrupt. (On second thought, we did start connecting to a Microsoft Exchange server with this computer, not the other one.) I went to www.samsung.com and downloaded two different drivers, one for 10.3, and one for 10.2.4 and higher. Neither worked, even after multiple downloads. (This is how I originally received the drivers, since they were not on the CDROM that came with the printer.)
I installed and downloaded the 10.3 driver several times, but when I tried to add the printer with the Printer Setup Utility an error message read "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printers. Successful-ok-conflicting attributes."
After I downloaded the 10.2.4 and higher driver, it would not let me install it. An error message read "The software to be installed requires Administrator or higher level access privileges." I checked my user account in the system preferences, and I am "administrator" for the computer.
I checked the Apple web site and a number of Mac and Samsung user websites, but none of the advice helped.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

Hi Moscowmiller
Welcome to Discussions.
There could be a number of things going on here, but the last thing first, try
Repair Permissions, found in Applications > Disk Utility
to start with.

  • Unable to locate a printer driver for a Samsung ML-2165 mono laser on OSX5.8 despite installing software successfully. Any ideas?

    I've installed successfully from disc (and removed it manually and reinstalled and restarted and unplugged etc). The iBook G4 sees the printer but the dialogue tells me there is no appropriate printer driver and to select one.  The only Samsung ones that appear are Guttenberg ones for different models. The Samsung folder appears in the Library/Printers folder. I have also downloaded Mac drivers from Samsung's website they unzip to folders 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6. The 10.5 one includes
    file://localhost/10.5/autosetupinfo.plist
    file://localhost/10.5/Command%20File%20Filter/
    file://localhost/10.5/Filter-%20SPL/

    file://localhost/10.5/SCMS/
    file://localhost/10.5/statusDesc.plist
    file://localhost/10.5/Utilities/
    I've put the folders in the printers folder - no change, I don't think anything has installed itself. There is certainly no installer automatically opening. What to do next?
    Samsung have sent me a standard Microsoft reply..... Hope someone can advise.

    Thank you very much for your clear advice which ought to work.
    Unfortunately none of this seems to work and is what I have already tried. This is a new printer - I have installed the software from the CD to no avail - I can select the printer but am told I have to download software..
    I have manually deleted software.  Then, I have downloaded the Mac software from the UK and the italian websites. The printer is found in the menu but again it says there is no suitable software. When browing under the 'other' heading the contents of the downloaded folder are greyed out and can't be installed. It appears the Samsung printer driver is not making itself available to the Print and Fax selector.
    It does make me wonder whether I have accidentally removed a vital piece of software - having removed most of the printer drivers a while ago to save disc space.

  • Samsung ML-1450 Printer Driver for Mac OS 10.5.4

    Hello!
    I would like to get Samsung ML-1450 Printer Driver for Mac OS 10.5.4. The old driver does not work with 10.5.4, Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks.

    It says it's for 10.2.4 or later or 10.4 (Huh?) but I just tried it and it worked.
    I printed through an Airport Extreme Base Station, but I imagine it should work via USB (or ethernet).

  • Samsung printer fails after update to CUPS 1.7.5

    On July 31 I updated my system and cups-1.7.4-1-x86_64, cups-filters-1.0.54-1-x86_64 and libcups-1.7.4-1-x86_64 got updated to cups-1.7.5-1-x86_64, cups-filters-1.0.55-1-x86_64 and libcups-1.7.5-1-x86_64, respectively. I just tried to print something, but instead of the page that should be printed, my printer, a Samsung ML-2165, printed:
    INTERNAL ERROR - Incomplete Session by time out
    POSITION: 0x9eee (40686)
    SYSTEM: h6fw_5.53/os_hook
    LINE: 1353
    VERSION: SPL 5.53 07-22-2011
    I'm using the Samsung ML-2160 printer driver, which worked flawlessly until recently (note that in the beginning I had problems printing more than 1 job without resetting the printer, as stated in the comments, but this issue magically went away).
    I decided to set LogLevel to 'debug' and now my /var/log/cups/error_log reads:

    Notice the failure of the RenderCGI assertion, likely causing the crash of rastertosamsungspl. I searched on the net, but didn't find a solution. However, I remembered that the CUPS packages were updated a few days ago and I manually downgraded to the previous releases. This solved the problem for now.
    Can someone see what's changed in the last release, especially regarding communication with a printer driver?

    Some older servers don't know what to do with unknown extensions. They are supposed to ignore them, but some actually close the connections with an error. By encapsulating, you are essentially stripping off any extensions because there is no such thing in the SSLv2 format. Suggest upgrading server if possible.

  • What Samsung Printer Drivers work with Lion?

    Upgraded to Lion and my Samsung ML-1740 printer no longer prints.  Printer worked on Leopard and Snow Leopard with gutenprint drivers but no more with Lion OS.  Samsung says so sorry and Apple support sent me here.  Has any Samsung 1740 owner found a printer driver that will work with Lion OS?  Thanks...JS

    Hello,
    Here is some news from Apple :
    Samsung Printer Drivers v2.2
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl905
    Apple says : "This download includes the latest Samsung  printing and scanning software for OS X Lion and Mac OS vX 10.6."
    I've downloaded it and installed, but nothing seems to work anyway...
    Alos, ther's no news about this on Samsung website.
    anyone figured out how to get it working ?
    Regards

  • How can I use samsung printer scx-4016 with macbook

    can't load mac software on intel macbook.
    can't find mac driver or software on samsung site.
    has anyone else been able to use the multifunction printer with their intel macbook?

    You can try using one of the of the Gimp-Print
    drivers included with Mac OS X if you cannot locate
    printer software for your specific printer model. If
    your printer supports PostScript Level 2 or
    PostScript Level 3, select Generic PostScript Printer
    as the print model. If you are experiencing an issue
    using the driver designed for your printer model, you
    may be able to workaround the issue by adding the
    printer via a Gimp-Print driver or the Generic
    PostScript Printer Description file.
    I don't understand any of what you have written about Gimp-print drivers.
    This printer does not support postScript. Could you please give me more detailed instructions about what I should do.
    Sorry it has taken me this long to get back to this problem, but regular life got in the way to handling this until now. I have to copy everything I want to print to my windows machine from my macbook. I am very frustrated with it.
    Samsung is no help and only lists win or linux drivers.

    However, when setting up my printer in the CUPS web interface, there is no option for a Brother HL-2130. Any clues as to why this is?
    EDIT: Stupid question, bad research, apologies. The driver was in the list offered by CUPS, it was just not listed in order because of a missing hyphen. My bad.

  • Samsung Printer

    I have just purchased a new iMac 20" and it works fantastic, only one problem, I am unable to print on my Samsung ML-2251N networked printer.
    Note: I already have read the previously posted topic where it points you to UK's Samsung web site, and they do not have my printer model listed there..! so I even downloaded and installed ML-2570 model driver for OSX, thinking they may be downward compatible, but it didn't work.
    Here is the interesting part I am able to get into the printer NIC card that has firmware maintenance software to set the options of the printer and I was able to print the demo page, but if I open a plain text file, it won't print, the job just sits in the print queue.
    Also I contacted Samsung support and they sent me a so called print driver for ML-2250 model and told me to install it! Unfortunatily their tech support is so unknowledgable about Mac OS, that upon receiving the so called driver I double clicked on it, and to my surprise the Mac text editor launched and it looked like a script file...! specifically written for Samsung. With no instruction on what to do or where to put the file (I emailed Samsung support but received no response)- I'm at a dead end.
    Does anyone has a clue! I will appriciate it very much.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    LostTechee,
    If the Cups-compatible generic Linux driver doesn't work
    (and it should), you have another choice.
    This. Pick your printer from the list and download the
    ppd file. You can then run it as a generic PostScript printer through CUPS.

  • Printer Driver wont work after upgrade to 10.6

    I just updated my OS to 10.6.8 (from 10.5x), and my printer driver won't work right. I have a Samsung ML-3051ND. I wasn't able to make double-sided copies, so i downloaded and installed the latest version (supposedly 10.6 friendly) from the Samsung website. Now, whenever I try to print I get an error message saying my printer driver isn't installed correctly, please try again. I did reinstall, following the directions from the Samsung website. Still the same error message. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    OK, I found an answer that works on the MacRumors forum.
    In system pref>printer & faxes> on the left side, you should have a list of printers. You need to right click in the white box andreset printing system. This deletes all the printers. Then add theprinter. It worked like a champ after that.

    Scanning in both HP Officejet 7210 and Samsung printer - the document scans but no file is generated - any ideas how to fix this?  (It worked fine before installing Mavericks)

    PS: forgot to mention: if your printer is on your wifi network, you'll have to enter your wifi password on the printer to connect it to the network before Printers & Scanners will see it.
    Sometimes a reset of the wifi system is needed too. A full set of directions would be:
    Try:
    uninstall all printer manufacturer apps and "utilities"
    go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
    control-click on your printer in the column on the left
    select "Reset Printing System..." and "reset" in the dialog that follows
    do a factory reset on your printer. You'll have to consult the printer manual for how.
    power down everything: modem, router, computer, and printer
    power up each item in turn in the same order: modem, router, computer, and printer. Let each power up completely before moving on to the next
    enter your wifi password in your printer so it can connect to the network
    go back to printers & scanners and it should see your printer and download a driver for it from Apple
    resist the temptation to install any printer manufacturer apps in the future.

  • Printer driver for workforce 645 was updated yesterday and printer no longer works, driver is no longer available from apple or epson.l

    When i go to the epson website it says the printer driver is available from apple. When i go to the printer selection it sees the printer but says that apple has no drivers for this printer. In the updates section of the app store it shows that the printer driver was update yesterday.

    If you're sure you tried all of these steps and the issue persists, contact Apple technical support

  • HP Laserjet 4100n network printer driver fails to install

    I am trying to install the printer driver for an HP 4100n laserjet on an XP machine.  I have downloaded the file "hp LaserJet 4100 Printing System (61.3 MB) from the HP web site.  First issue is that upon executing the setup exe file the InstallShield stops at 99%.  I have to end it via Windows Task manager.  Occassionally I can get to 100% but I have no idea why only occassionally.  If I boot into Safe Mode I get to 100% everytime. 
    Once in Safe Mode the wizard seems to operate properly, finding the printer on the network and returning the correct TCP address.  I get to the end of the wizard and I get a Sever Error message and the wizard terminates.
    I have two laptops and one other desktop connected to the 4100n via the network.  I must be doing something wrong and could use some suggestions.
    Thanks

  • Is there a Macintosh OS 8.6 or 9.0.4 printer driver for an HP PSC 2355?

    Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
    I know this is very old {don't laugh}, but I was looking for a Macintosh OS 8.6 or 9.0.4 printer driver for my recently purchased HP PSC 2355 All-in-One printer.
    I run OS X 10.5.8 on an Apple iBook G4 and also run a Mac OS 9.0.4 emulator on it called SheepShaver. Trouble is SheepShaver will only run up to Mac OS 9.0.4 and the HP PSC 2355 minimum drivers are for Mac OS 9.1.
    I would love to be able to print from SheepShaver and the scanner features are unimportant to me under Mac OS 9.
    Are there printing drivers (even from a different, but compatible printer) that would allow me to print from this printer under Mac OS 9.0.4?
    Thank you so much!

    Hello,
    When you say you recently purchased the PSC 2355, i believe this is a very old printer.
    I am not sure on how the SheepShaver works but we do have the printer driver available for 10.9 on hp.com. The first link mentioned below will take to the product page. Rest all are some of the InkJet and DeskJet drivers.
