Hi Donna & all,

Yes, that sounds like a wise decision! I think I'll try David's suggestion too! <smile>

Hi David, Russell, and Blake,

thanks all for your help with this. After seeing Russell's message, I think I'm going to hold off until either an evening or a weekend when my husband is home, just in case I find myself in a pickle and need sighted assistance. I have saved all your messages. I think I'll try the Mac boot disk option, first, since it seems like if they have a driver that will work, that would be the better choice. But I do have the link you sent Russell, and I'm sure I won't have any problem getting the file. I'm good with smaller tasks on the web, I just get unnerved by mammoth web pages. :

Thanks again,
Donna

I don't know, but if the printer was made before leopard was shipped there is a good chance the drivers are already available. if you can't find the drivers on the system, try putting in the disk that came with your mac and choosing install additional software or something like that I can't remember. one of the choices is printer drivers and there are a number in there.

Hi Donna,

I didn't think of it when I offered to send you the link, but I downloaded the drivers from the Samsung Canadian site... not sure if this matters... anyone have any ideas on this? I tried going to the US site to find the drivers for you, but for some strange reason, I'm not able to switch to the US site.... keeps taking me back to the Canadian site. I'll include the link below, and you can try the drivers... don't ask me about how to install drivers on a Mac... will be struggling with that soon! <smile> Donna, there's a table on the site I'm sending you that includes drivers for a variety of operating systems... you just need to navigate the table till you get to the OS X row... there's two rows for OS X, the first one is the driver and the second one is for the Smart Panel... not sure exactly what the Smart Panel does, but I'm thinking it may be able to show when the printer is low on ink... not sure if this info would be accessible with VO or not. Anyway, here's the link... it's a long link and you may have to copy it one line at a time, making sure, of course, that there are no spaces between the text on each line. Maybe you won't be able to get to the Canadian site?

Hey Russell,

I do have that same printer. If you could send me the link to that page, I would love you forever!!! *big smile* I'm still not very comfortable browsing the web on the Mac, and was kind of dreading having to navigate the Samsung page. I don't know anything about the Smart Panel. Do you know what it's supposed to do?
Thank you so much,
Donna

Hey Donna,

I just finished downloading drivers for my Samsung ML-2510 laser printer. If you have that same model, I could send you the link to the page. I also downloaded the smart Panel software, although I don't know if I'll need it or not.

Thanks,

Russell

Hi all,

I have a Samsung laser printer that I used with my windows PC. I have plugged it into the Mac, but can't seem to print. I think the Mac is seeing the printer, but it appears to want drivers. Any advice? I thought that you didn't need to install drivers on the Mac, so am a little perplexed.
Thanks,
Donna
