I am in need of help/advice to get my Samsung ML-1710 Monochrome 
printer to work with my PowerBook G3 Lombard.  I just bought this 
printer and a USB2 hi0speed cable yesterday.  I installed the driver, 
using the CD-ROM that came with the printer, but I'm unable to get 
the printer to print anything except its demo page.  At startup, and 
when I invoke the print commandi, i.e., try to print something in 
SimpleText, I get this message:

The software needed to use the USB device, Samsung ML-1710 Series 
cannot be found.  Please refer to the device documentation to install 
the necessary software.  If you do not install the software, you may 
want to remove the device to prevent this dialog from reappearing.

I'm hoping there is a simple solution, but meanwhile I wonder if 
somehow I got the wrong CD-ROM package.  The new item now in my 
extensions folder is a chooser extension SAMSUNG SPLII, 1.64.

TIA for any help.  USB is still unfailiar territory to me.

If it is a Chooser extension, I am guessing that you are using OS9 or 
previous.

Does the printer show up in the Chooser?

Do you have it selected?

Do you have the Apple USB support files loaded?

I have an Epson 777 USB printer and it is seen on my network as a shared 
printer as long as the 777 drivers are present on each machine that I 
wish to print from, even those that have no USB capability.

I do know that USB 2 is not supported by an OS prior to 10.?.?.(Jaguar?). 
If the printer is USB specific, you may be in for a challenge.

You simply need to up date your Samsung Driver.
Go to samsung web site under support you will be presented with a vast 
array of drivers
Choose the one for your unit and your OS. Install, restart and voila!

Hope that helps
