Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have a new Macbook Pro with a M1 chip that I'd like to connect to my Samsung ML-2950 laser printer. So far, I haven't found an updated printer driver that will work. Anyone know of a driver that works? Thanks for any help or info!
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.4
Hi sshibel,
There are three Samsung ML-2950 models (printers now part of HP) in the About AirPrint article (mentioned by ku4hx):
An AirPrint-enabled printer is compatible with macOS. So, if your printer is one of the listed network models above, you should be able to use it without additional drivers, provided that the printer and the Mac are connected to the same network (Wi-Fi router). AirPrint works with both wired (Ethernet) and wireless connections. A printer with an Ethernet port could be connected to one of the LAN ports of the Wi-Fi router.
Add a printer to your printer list so you can use it on Mac – Apple Support (UK)

Yesterday I spent some time talking to the Apple geniuses at one of the local Apple stores about the driver problem. They said that most likely Samsung would put out updated drivers for the M1 chip later in year. So I’ll just have to wait. Sorry, but that’s all I’ve got right now.
Hi lpqtp,
Regarding the ML-2160, could the following post be of interest?
