Is there a working driver for Samsung ML-1675 printers on macOS Big Sur?
I was able to use my Samsung ML-1675 printer with a driver now I don't remember the name of, before Big Sur, on Catalina.
Now no driver seems to work for my printer on Big Sur. I've searched for a solution and saw a lot of people with the same issue (on other printer models). Some of them were able to use their printers with a slightly different driver than what their printer model was. But no luck for me there.
Maybe someone here had the same issue and can offer a solution. Here's what I know:
- My printer is a monochrome laser printer from 2011. (Samsung ML-1675 Series) It isn't wireless. I'm using a USB cable.
- My Mac is a 2020 MacBook Air, running Big Sur (11.5.2)
- I was able to use the printer before Big Sur.
- There are no problems with the printer. It has a full cartridge, runs fast and smooth. It works on Windows.
- There are some drivers that were working on OS X, but I can't install them on Big Sur because they're old and Big Sur can't run the pkg files for the installation.
- I've already installed Gutenprint drivers.
- Here are some of the drivers I was able to find that kind of worked (printed an error page):
- Samsung C3010 Series driver (and some others): Printed a page with the following error:
INTERNAL ERROR - uw_color == 4
- Some of the drivers for other Samsung ML-**** printers: Printed a page with the following error:
INTERNAL ERROR - Please use the proper driver.
I hope someone can offer a working solution here, like people did for other Samsung printers.
