Hi
I have an old color laser printer - Samsung CLP 325 - that does not have drivers for Big Sur (or Catalina, for that matter).
I have tried the usual trick of experimenting with other "similar" models drivers to see if I could revive it, but had no success.
Any suggestions? Has anyone had any success with this or similar printers and could share their solution?

AirPrint also supports some third-party print servers at the end of the AirPrint listing. Might be an option if not too expensive, and provided USB connectivity. Got a Linux box you could hang this Samsung on, and CUPS relay to it from macOS?
Hi, thanks for replying.
This printer connects only over USB.
When I try to add it, I do not get any AirPrint options, unfortunately. I do get AirPrint if I try to add a different printer (a more recent HP inkjet), but not for the Samsung.
There is no official support for the CLP-325 laser in Apple's AirPrint either. However, my Samsung ML-2950 series laser printer is not shown as supported — yet an AirPrint driver for it is available in Mojave, Catalina, and now Big Sur. Works like a charm.
When you reset the print system in Printers & Scanners panel, is an AirPrint option provided, or can you enter AirPrint and get lucky?
