I cannot find a driver to get my my old Samsung-ML2160 printer functioning with Apple Mac OS Monterey

Doe anyone know the solution?

Hi,


You may want to have a look at this discussion. There is a link to a universal printer driver download from HP for Samsung printers (https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/printers/SS/Print_Common_SW/Samsung_Mac_Driver_V3.93.03.dmg). See the picture, provided by divesh81, with a list of drivers. One folder is named ML-2160. Possibly worth investigating? Otherwise, perhaps something like the M2020 or M2070? This should be looked upon as an experiment. It may or may not work with your printer. Make sure that you have backup copies of all important files before testing anything.


Add a printer to your printer list so you can use it on Mac – Apple Support (UK)

Generally speaking, do not download drivers from unknown sites. Download from an official site of a printer manufacturer (Samsung printers are now part of HP), or from another trustworthy source, such as Apple.
