- I use Mac OS X 10.11.6 (El Capitan) and I would like to find and install a printer driver for an old samsung ML-1210 printer. Can anyone help? If yes, please tell me in simple terms, because I am not computer savvy!
- Many printers and scanners use driverless technologies such as AirPrint or IPP Everywhere, which don't require additional drivers on your Mac. But third-party drivers might still be available for older devices that do require a driver. Always check for software updates before connecting the device to your Mac for the first time.
Although Samsung stopped providing official Mac OS drivers for the ML-1210 laser printer long ago, it is still possible to use this venerable old laser printer with the latest Mac OS X.

Next you’ll need the Foomatic-RIP package, but don’t download the latest version!
You need to use Foomatic-RIP version 3.0.2 (dated 30th January 2008), otherwise your print-outs will include a top margin which you can’t remove. Fortunately the older working version is still available from OpenPrinting.org.
