Samsung SCX-4500 missing printer driver / Big Sur OS 11.2 Mac mini M1

I did install some drivers similarly for Catalina, maybe some of those are missing. Try to follow the manual I have linked. Or try to install the drivers from this page:

https://www.samsung-driver.org/2019/09/samsung-scx-4500-driver-download-for-mac.html

As I mentioned, I've tried many drivers before. let mw know if any of those worked for you.

- Download:

Select printer SL-M2070 and Catalina OS (10.15)

Samsung_Mac_10.15_Driver_V3.92.00.dmg

Finally printer and scanner is working for me!

The printer and scanner both work fine for me.

This printer is the world's most beautiful, I believe. I was searching for any replacement with this feature set, but did not find any comparable model. All just look too much office style. So, I am happy that it's still working. I did replaced the LSU modul in the printer 2 years ago, as it was not working. I hope will work for another more years.

The last printer driver issued for the SCX-4500 was for OS X Yosemite in 2017. That driver would clearly be incompatible with Catalina or Big Sur. There is no support from Apple's AirPrint for this device either. No one else makes a driver for this HP device, and there is no universal driver for that reason.

You have a paperweight, and time to choose a printer from those supported in Apple's AirPrint to avoid vendor abandonment again.
