Does anyone know how to install a Samsung CLP-320 printer on a MBP running Monterey? The Samsung printer drivers don't seem to work for Monterey and the Universal version doesn't work for the CLP-320.
However, I know it can work as I have a MBP 2015 updated to Monterey and the printer works fine. I have had this machine a while so when the drivers were installed it would have been on an earlier macOS version.
How To Install Drivers For A Samsung Laser Printer Clp-325w On A Mac
Thank you for the information. Actual drivers inside a package may or may not work with a modern operating system, but one problem can also be the installer itself and its system version detection. Unfortunately, a mere transfer of printer driver components from one machine to another is often not feasible.
It is really not acceptable that a printer is prevented from working with a new computer just because of the way the operating system was installed, especially not when the same printer could be used with an earlier computer model running the same operating system version. It ought to be possible for a computer manufacturer controlling the operating system to facilitate continued use of existing printers. Not all printers are AirPrint-models. A computer buyer cannot be expected to throw away older, functional printers.
Do you have access to an older PC? If so, you could try to download and install an appropriate (free) Desktop version of Ubuntu on that machine, in order to make it a print server. There are Samsung CLP-320 drivers for Linux (Ubuntu) from HP. Ubuntu is using CUPS. A printer (such as the CLP-320) could be connected to a USB port on the Ubuntu PC. Then this printer could be configured to be shared (only a few steps). An Ubuntu PC can handle Bonjour (mDNS/Avahi), and a shared printer should thus be recognised by Mac computers on a network. Connect the Ubuntu PC via Ethernet to the network (one of the LAN ports of a Wi-Fi router) and try to print from the new Mac. Would this work?
Now, the driver is found by macOS - but I get an error upon adding the printer that tells me "The software for the printer was installed incorrectly", which persists regardless of whether I re-run a reset of the printing system or a First Aid in Disk Utility to fix permissions.
It is ridiculous that this printer worked perfectly fine on Big Sur before I wiped the hard disk, it works perfectly fine on Catalina currently, it works fine under Windows... but not on a fresh install of macOS Big Sur.
Apple decided to make the laser printer Samsung CLP 360 series dysfunctional over a night. No drivers provided for this model that can work with macos Big Sur anymore. In HP they admit that they are unable to find drivers for my product -en/drivers/selfservice/samsung-clp-360-color-laser-printer-series/17156859
CLP-360_Series_Mac_PrinterDriver_V5.02.00 were working fine with macos X 10.15 during the installation through Bonjour. But now they are not available anymore. I installed them by myself but the system can't detect them. So the printer is not working.
Apple is not responsible for third-party printer drivers. That is HP, who now owns the Samsung printer business, and may choose to prioritize newer printers for Big Sur support over older printers, and some printers will never receive newer drivers. Take that up with HP.
Apple upgrades are becoming like Microsoft. Every new upgrading breaks more than it fixes. my computer has become super slow and yes the 2 samsung printers i have couldn't be accessed and scanner didn't work till i figure out this shared on the network feature
I have the same problem with my EPSON XP 200. printer. Apple doesn't mention this when it invites you to update. Just install our fancy upgrade which makes your peripherals unworkable. The incompatibility is then your problem
Have you tried the Feb 11, 2021 Samsung Universal Print Driver V3.93.01 for SL-M2020, SL-C430, and some other models ( _Common_SW/Samsung_Mac_Driver_V3.93.01.dmg)? That driver may or may not work with your printer. See also the -en/document/c06520117 for some other models/drivers. You may have select a number of models during tests.
Shortcut to the Wireless Setting programwithout the CD: If you have installed the printer driveronce, you can access the WirelessSetting program without the CD. From the Startmenu, select Programs or All Programs > SamsungPrinters > your printer driver name > Wireless Setting Program.
With the Samsung Universal Print Driver, you can replace the cumbersome process of installing multiple printer drivers by simply installing one. The Samsung Universal Print Driver supports Samsung's entire range, plus other manufacturers' printers too, making it easy for you to access multiple printers at once. This also means that administration of the print network is reduced, leaving you to focus on more business critical tasks.
Eliminate Multiple Installations With Samsung Universal Print Driver, you can search and access all local and network printers without any additional installation of device specific drivers. It's compatible with any network printer that uses SPL, PCL6 or PostScript languages, meaning a wide range of manufacturer's devices can be accessed on the single driver.
Search Printers and Check Status The Samsung Universal Print Driver provides the current status and properties of all printers on the network by clicking on the 'Search Now' button. Printer installation becomes simple and effective through intelligent discovery functionality that reduces the time required to install and maintain devices. What's more, you can create lists of frequently used printers and check their status at a glance, saving time by only sending documents to printers that are currently available.
The product mentioned earlier belongs to the personal category of Samsung printer that uses the LaserJet print technology. Also, with laser technology, it has an inbuilt processor that can run at a rate of 360 MHz. At the same time, it produces a maximum print resolution of 2400 x 600 dots per inch (dpi). It also has an average print speed of 16 pages per minute (ppm) for black and white printing. On the other hand, color printing is at a rate of 4 ppm.
The minimum requirements to set up ad-hoc wireless connection without using the USB cable are: A Windows 7 PC or higher, a router/access point , software CD provided by Samsung and a Samsung printer installed with wireless interface.
