Hello Everyone, In Maverick, it was a simple thing to install the software for my Samsung ML-3312nd Series laser printer. I:
1. Opened System Preferences. 2. Opened Printers and Scanners. 3. Selected the Add button. Since the printer is on my network via an Ethernet cable, it was located immediately. 4. All I had to do was to click the Add button for the software was automatically detected and downloaded from Apple. By the way, I just performed these steps yesterday on my Maverick machine. In Yosemite, just now, when I followed the same steps, I get a message telling me that Apple does not have the drivers for my printer and that I should get it from the printer manufacturer. Just so you know, I purchased this printer about 2 years ago so it is not new. I wish I had installed the printer driver before upgrading from Maverick to Yosemite for it is my thinking that the driver would have remained in place. Be that as it may, I did not do this. So, here are my questions: 1. Where on the Maverick disk is the printer driver located? I'm hoping I can simply copy it to my Yosemite computer and have it work. 2. I went to the Samsung website and downloaded what they say is the Mac driver for this printer, however the driver version number does not match that which is installed on my Maverick computer. Also, the driver on the Samsung site says it is for Maverick 10.5 to 10.9. Do you think this driver will work? 3. I've never installed a printer driver on a Mac, before. The file that I downloaded, should you not be able to tell me from where to copy the driver as described above from my Maverick computer, is a .zip file. How do I use it when attempting to install the printer in Yosemite? I cannot, for the life of me, understand why Apple does not have the driver when installing from Yosemite but it does when installing from Maverick. I eagerly await any and all replies on this.
