Hi,
Following following method could solve your issue, though you should get new printer which driver is supported Apple Silicon CPU.
To use your Samsung SCX-4300 on a MacBook Air running macOS Tahoe (v26.2), you'll need to bypass the modern installer by downloading the legacy driver from following link and extracting the package using a third-party tool like Pacifist.
Samsung Printer Drivers v2.6 for OS X - Apple Support
Here is the step-by-step installation process:
Step 1: Download the Files
- Download the Samsung Printer Drivers v2.6 for OS X from Apple Support.
- Download Pacifist by CharlesSoft to extract the driver files.
Step 2: Extract the Driver
- Mount the downloaded SamsungPrinterDrivers.dmg file, but do not run the included .pkg installer directly (it will likely show an incompatible version error).
- Open the Pacifist app and select Open Package.
- Locate and select the SamsungPrinterDrivers.pkg file inside the mounted DMG.
- Click Install in the toolbar, follow the prompts, and enter your Mac's administrator password when requested.
Step 3: Add the Printer
- Power on your Samsung SCX-4300 and connect it to your MacBook Air via a USB cable.
- Go to the Apple menu > System Settings (or System Preferences) > Printers & Scanners.
- Click the Add Printer, Scanner, or Fax (or the +) button.
- Select your device from the list, click Select Software... (or the "Use" dropdown), and choose the specific SCX-4300 driver.
Note: As Samsung Printer are officially supported by HP, you may also want to use the web-based HP Easy Start / Start Samsung Printer Installer to see if it can automatically locate your legacy hardware.
