Samsung drivers for macOS Ventura

Hi,

The Samsung SCX-4623 drivers from HP (Samsung printers are now part of HP) appear to be for older Mac operating system versions only.

Unless your printer possibly would be compatible with the V3.93.08 universal driver at

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/printers/SS/Print_Common_SW/Samsung_Mac_Driver_V3.93.08.dmg

(by choosing one of the other models there), you could perhaps carry out an experiment with something similar to a procedure suggested by Matti Haveri in a discussion Samsung ML-1640 laser printer (usb only) - Apple Community. A Samsung SCX-4623 Series 1.08.01 printer driver is listed in Printer and scanner drivers for Mac - Apple Support. This may or may not work with your printer. As always, make sure that you have backup copies of all important files before testing anything at all.

Hi AnneBfromNY,

The driver in question is mentioned by HP as a Samsung Universal Print and Scan Driver for the Samsung Xpress SL-M2070FW Laser Multifunction Printer, but it would probably be wise to test it.

As always, make sure that you have backup copies of all important files before doing anything.

If necessary, you may want to try Apple's Image Capture for scanning. I do not know whether an additional ICA driver will be needed, though.

If nothing else works, a third-party (paid) product could possibly be of interest.

It is also worth noting that the Samsung Xpress M2070FW is listed in About AirPrint - Apple Support as a model supporting Apple's AirPrint technology. This means that printing should not require an extra driver, provided that the M2070FW and the Mac computer are connected to the same network. AirPrint works with wireless (Wi-Fi) or wired (Ethernet) network connections, so you could choose to wire this printer by Ethernet to one of the LAN ports of the Wi-Fi router (instead of connecting wirelessly), if you so wish. This way, some of the difficulties related to Wi-Fi may be avoided.

Thank you for the information.

Sorry, cannot help you with the uninstaller problem. Perhaps someone else here has experienced something similar with this download. Otherwise, you may have to contact HP.

You could of course reset the printing system.

Did you try to use drivers for a few other models in the V.3.93.08 download?

Would the exact printer model be SCX-4824FN? That is, do you have a network printer (Ethernet)? If so, is the actual printer connection via Ethernet (via a switch/router), or are you using USB directly from the computer?

The SCX-4824(FN) appears to emulate PCL 6, which may make it possible to use generic PCL printer software, if nothing else works. See the Add a network printer by specifying its IP address section ("You can also try choosing generic postscript or PCL printer software from the pop-up menu depending on your type of printer." under the Use option) in Add a printer to your printer list so you can use it on Mac – Apple Support (UK).

I downloaded Samsung Printer Drivers v2.6 for OS X - Apple Suppor(support.apple.com/en-us/106427). It said "This volume does not meet blah blah-" like you.

Apple Documents speaks "Mac OS X v10.6 or later" and parently my print is on the Samsung print list, however they exactly having exception the software or program what I need to set up.

Because of the Link on the other appler answer, Samsung ML-1910K works now!

I choose the "ML-2160 Series" on the print driver selecting list, though mine is not showed up.

I feel They intend to make people like me install their software or apps for their control on purpose,

but I want to say appreciate to this page and other users.

If all else fails give the demo version of VueScan a try. I prefer it over the apps that comer with my Epson and Canon scanners.

Hi,

I have Macos ventura 13.6.2 and Samsung scx-4828fn. I tried the universal driver and installing the specific samsung scanner app. The installation was successful, the scanner is now detected in image capture, although it cannot communicate with the scanner. I get an error message that the os cannot open the samsung scanner app, there's a risk of malicious software, so it needs to be updated by samsung. Can you help me? Thanks!

hey, a bit off topic question, I downloaded the files from the first link you recommended but the softwares didn't seem to work for my samsung printer. I'm new to macOS and I was just wondering whether you could help me with the uninstallation? the uninstaller included in the downloaded file doesn't work as well. thank you

I just tapped on the first link you recommended (....Samsung_Mac_Driver_V.3.93.08) which started downloading automatically and then proceeded to install the PrinterDriver.pkg file from Mac_Printer.

I have the Samsung SCX-4824 printer.

This thread has been so useful for folks, I hope I can find a match for my situation. I have Sonoma running on Apple silicon, and trying to get my Samsung SCX-4623F to work. I'm trying several drivers from the universal driver download but not luck. Any pointers? Thanks!

I have an older, but very efficient (B&W laser) Samsung SCX-4729FW. This model does not appear in the list, so I used the generic PCL driver and my prints were soft with many problems with the general quality. So I searched and finally forced my printer to work with the HP LaserJet Series PCL 4/5 driver. It seems to work very fine now with direct print, Word and Photoshop. I may not have all the controls, but it looks definitely better (when you put the parameters to best quality). I just did a scan test through my Mac and it worked perfectly with this driver. I don't know if all the controls are there, as I have been using VueScan for more than 10 years without issues. I can now stop looking for a new printer.

I'm able to print, but not scan on the Samsung M2070FW. I'll try that universal driver and see if it works.

Update: YES! This fixed it

Glad to hear that.

I downloaded the universal driver - I hope it was the correct one but all it did was re-add the printer only functionality. I still am not able to add it as a scanner. Any suggestions?

Did you delete the printer first and then reinstall? That seemed to help for me. It was the driver at the link above
