Printer Driver Samsung ML2250

Does anyone know of a Panther compatible driver that will work for a Samsung ML2250 laser printer? I'm trying to print from my PowerBook onto our office network without success. We have two ML 2250s -- one direct connect through a Windows Box, the other on a Linksys Wireless Print Server. My Powerbook doesn't recognize either one.

Thanks

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

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.
