Samsung Laser Printer not supported?

Post by boyherre »

Hi, today I tried to install my new Samsung ML-1910 Laser Printer with Turboprint (as 2nd printer) - but it seems Samsung Printers are not supported?!
I got a 2 printers License (!).
I get only Brother, Canon, Epson and HP printer driver suggestions?
Is this a bug or a feature?

Greetings, Boy

Hello boyherre,

this is neither a bug nor a feature - we just cannot support any printer on the market. This is party because we need technical documentation about the printer language which is not available for many printers. A main reason is that we are a small developer team and can only support the printers where the strongest demand for printer drivers is.
Unfortunately your Samsung printer does not support any standard printer language like PCL, which most laser printers understand. Printers that understand PCL can be used with an HP LaserJet driver.
