Printer Driver Samsung ML2250

Have you tried downloading the driver from Samsung? I found it here.

The Samsung ML-2250 uses the PCL 6 printer language. My recommendation would be to download and install the latest version of the Gutenprint drivers. When you set up the printer use the Generic PCL 6 driver.

I doubt that the drivers supplied by Samsung will work in a network environment.

Unfortunately, GutenPrint does not support the printer (nor most laser printers.) This particular Samsung model is a network printer, so I don't see why it shouldn't work with its own proprietary driver. HP printers use the PCL language, but I've never had a problem using them on or off networks.

The stock ML-2250 is not a network printer according to the Samsung specs. The optional Ethernet connectivity does then make it technically a ML-2251N. Perhaps the ML-2251N Samsung driver will work with a stock ML-2250. I don't know. It is interesting that Samsung download center does not list any Mac drivers for the stock ML-2250. I would be happy to learn if the stock ML-2250 can use the ML-2251N drivers that were just posted 2006-08-24.

The Samsung specs do show that the ML-2250 uses the PCL 6 language. It should therefore work with the Generic PCL 6 driver found either in the Gutenprint or hpijs drivers. A quick search of this forum shows that it will also work with the ML-2150 driver in the hpijs package. It looks like it can also use the pxlmono driver.
