Headless Raspberry Pi setup using the Raspberry PI OS Lite.This resulted in the printer being usable as a 'generic postscript network printer.' Here are some links to the steps I used. I used a Pi Zero W, set up CUPS, and added SMB. My driver showed up in the version 3 installation of the application.
Download version 2 and execute the installer in winXP compatibility mode. The current Samsung Universal Printer Driver is at version 3 which does not support my printer. I got it working two ways.įirst way: USB-connected printer.
It still works perfectly so I made an effort to keep it alive. Samsung sold their printer biz to HP and these printers are way past end-of-support. I picked up this little workhorse printer 17 years ago and it was really cheap. Telling a monochrome device to print letter-size 600dpi shouldn't be this difficult. This took me a while to figure out, so I thought I'd share something here that I wish would have showed up in my many google searches while trying to get this to work.
