Hello JamieFlint,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It's our understanding that you're receiving an error message when trying to print from your MacBook Pro. We're here to help.


First, we recommend restarting your Mac and printer. Restarting can resolve many unexpected behaviors.

Log out, sleep, wake, restart, or shut down your Mac


If the issue persists, test in safe mode. Starting in safe mode allows your Mac to run certain checks, remove caches, and prevent login items from automatically launching. This can isolate possible third party issues. Use the steps and information in the following resource for assistance with safe mode:

Let us know the results. Please include additional error messages and any other troubleshooting steps that you may have tried.


Have a nice day!

Hi,


The Samsung Xpress M2026W is mentioned in About AirPrint - Apple Support as a model supporting the driverless AirPrint technology. This means that it should not be necessary to install additional drivers, if the printer and the computer are connected to the same network (Wi-Fi router).

HP's support page for the model in question does not appear to have anything higher than the (Sep 16, 2020) V3.92.00 macOS Catalina 10.15 universal driver right now. Where did you find the drivers?
