Macbook Air M1 does not recognize Samsung M2885FW scanner (printer works fine)

Hi there. Just installed drivers for Samsung printer M2885FW and everything looks fine. But when I install the official software, EASY DOCUMENT CREATOR, it doesn't recognize the printer. So I'm not able to use the scanner. Printer is working fine.


Drivers are on the official site (V3.92.0020.5 MBSep 16, 2020):

Any advice?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.2

Do you see in /Applications/Samsung Scanner? In the DMG download, I see a MAC_ICDM folder with an ICDM.pkg and in that Data directory there is a Samsung Scanner App waiting to be installed.


Looks like it covers the Apple Image Capture App as well as TWAIN support and it installs an App "Samsung Scanner".


Maybe you didn't install the ICDM package?
