Mac Mini M1 and Samsung CLP-315W series not printing

My new Mac Mini M1running Big Sur won't print to a Samsung CLP-315W series network printer. Tried all kind of stuff, but I think the M1 needs a driver. The Mini does detect the printer, but every print job is directed to /dev/null ;-)

Workaround is to print to my Macbook Pro (Big Sur) with the Samsung CLP-315W configured as a shared printer.

Hey plein44,


We see that you're having issues connecting your Samsung printer to your Mac, and we'd like to help!


If you haven't yet, please try resetting the printing system by following the steps from this article: Reset the Mac printing system to solve a problem


If the issue persists, we recommend that you contact the manufacturer of the printer for further assistance. It's possible that there might be a driver that you need to manually install to connect the printer with your Mac.


We hope this helps!


Best regards.
