I have been using the Samsung ML-1210 printer for years using operating systems all the way up to 10.6.8.
I now have a new computer running 10.9 and can not find a driver. I spent 30 minutes in chat with Samsung and they could not help.
Does anyone know of a driver that will work?
Thank you.

If Samsung cannot provide an up to date driver, try here:

Thank you so much for pointing people in the right direction. I had just upgraded to Mavericks a few days ago, and today needed to print something on my wonderful, trusty old Samsung ML-1210. When I got to your solution and implemented it, I nearly cried tears of joy.
Thank you so much for this great solution!!
U'r welcome ))
I just completed this install for our old ML-1210, which became crippled when we updated to Maverick today. It works great! The printer is much faster in responding than it was before! Thanks so much, Alex! You saved us from buying a new printer!
For anyone coming here and unable to access the linked instructions: you can still install legacy support for this printer on newer version of OSX by downloading the Samsung GDI drivers from here: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/samsun g-gdi
You need to install:
Preferably in that order. Note: These are for older versions of the OS but the most recent ones still work as of 10.9.
After that, your printer will be recognized as a Foomatic device and it even works wirelessly through an Airport Extreme (when plugged into the Airport via USB)!
Алекс, добрый день!
Я сейчас столкнулась с той же проблемой: много лет пользуюсь принтером Samsung ML 1210 (нет причин менять), а теперь ищу драйвер для 10.11.3. Вы можете помочь? Очень надеюсь.... В любом случае СПАСИБО!
