Q: Printing problem "Backend"

Hi, I am having issues printing where I get a "Backend" error msg can anyone help please :-)

I have a 2011 macbook pro running OSX 10.11.5 and wirelessly connecting to a Samsung SL-C1860-FW printer. I have installed the software, several times, and reinstalled it from the Samsung website but to no avail.

One suggestion was to restore from backup but I have no idea which file / files to restore, sorry I am an ex-windows person.

any help & pointers much appreciated :-)

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

That printer is advertised as compatible with AirPrint, which means that you should not need the vendor software to use it.

I guess this does not work from a macbook pro, not chance that I can find to AirPrint but it works from the iPad :-)

Please post a screenshot of the Printers & Scanners preference pane with the Samsung print queue selected. Be careful not to include any private information.
