As long as you have this device configured for wired or wireless networking, and without any USB cable connected, it is supported for Apple's built-in AirPrint.


If the printer is already in System Settings : Printers & Scanners : Printers panel, right-click on it and choose Reset printing system… That will clear out the Printers panel content and you want to then click the + symbol to add your M2832DW back. That will open a separate window where Apple's Bonjour service has detected the networked device and shows an entry for it. Mine is a Samsung laser…


Click your device entry in this panel. When you do, the Use: selector will switch briefly to Auto Select, and then settle on your Samsung M2835DX entry. You now click the Add button to repopulate the Printers panel. Right-click on the new M2835DX entry and choose Set Default Printer. With AirPrint, you are no longer dependent upon HP/Samsung drivers.


If this device has scanning capability, Apple's Image Capture should detect it.


Tested: Monterey 12.6.8
