i have had this Black and white Samsung ML-1610 laser printer, i would say it isnt the most hitech printer, it is the most basic laser printer, i got it 2 years back and back then it was the cheapest laser printer available in Mumbai, India it was about 90-100$,
i am stil very happy with the printer it does it basic job , as i dont require much printing just once in while….. its perfect and economical, even print quality id decent
Today after being on macbook for about 1 and half month, i was in need of printer wanted to get E-ticket printed…
i am saying to myself i would’nt be surprised if my old printer doesn’t work on macbook and i am forced to buy new printer…. even when i don’t require new printer perfectly happy with old printer
i said why give up without trying…. so went ahead and tried to add samsung Ml-1610 printer in macbook system preference
i could not find Samsung Ml 1610 in the drivers list, i could only see samsung Ml 1630, i thought might be this would work why not give it a try,….. so i installed samsung ML1630 driver to use with old samsung Ml1610 printer and i was hopeing for miracle to happen and wait for it to work
and it didnt work
now back to thought damn ill have to shell out money to buy new printer or wait may be ill email samsung support, or email apple customer care … or best googleso i tried google for answers and i came across Splix for mac OS X
This is a Mac OS X package for SpliX, a set of CUPS printer drivers for SPL (Samsung Printer Language) printers. If you have a such printer, you need to download and use SpliX.
After installing Splix i could see Samsung ML 1610 in mabook system preference (printer and fax) and i went ahead and added it and it worked perfectly fine… yayyy !!
google just saved me 200$ i dont have to buy new printer i could get my old printer Samsung ML 1610 to work on my macbook with mac OS x leopard version 10.5.2
