!FREE! Firmware Reset Samsung Ml 1860
Rivka Licklider
I am using Samsung ml-1860 printer.. but after changing my MacBook to M1 MacBook Pro which is operating by Mac OS Big Sur my printer does not working...I tried driver m2020,m2010,m2060 but it is just showing "select right driver for the printer"..
You could try to set up USB printer sharing on the High Sierra MacBook, and connect that computer to the network (if possible, via Ethernet to one of the LAN ports of the Wi-Fi router). Then check what happens if you try to print via the network from the Big Sur MacBook Pro (check whether the printer appears as a Bonjour printer in the Print dialogue).
There is always a certain risk involved with a printer driver test. Software/hardware conflicts cannot be ruled out. Data may be lost. So, do not proceed unless you know what you are doing. Make sure that you have at least three backup copies (on separate media) of important files (photos, et cetera).
I have used m2020,m2010,m2060,m2070 and so on drivers. The driver of ml-1860 is not available for Big Sur...so how I can solve the problem? I have reset printer system many times but problem remains the same...
It is difficult to say if this, somehow, could be related to a direct USB connection to the new computer, or whether it is a pure driver question. Unfortunately, at this point, a workaround may be needed. Since there are printer drivers from HP for all the latest Windows versions, one could perhaps be a virtual machine running Windows on the Big Sur Mac, but there may be better ways.
Do you have access to a spare PC (does not have to be a new model)? If so, you could download and install an appropriate (free) Desktop version of Ubuntu on that machine, in order to make it a print server. There are Samsung ML-1860 drivers for Linux (Ubuntu) from HP. Ubuntu is using CUPS. A USB printer (like the ML-1860) could be connected to a USB port on the Ubuntu PC. Then this printer could be configured to be shared (only a few simple steps). An Ubuntu PC can handle Bonjour (mDNS/Avahi), and a shared printer should thus be recognised by Mac computers on a network. Connect the Ubuntu PC (with the ML-1860) via Ethernet to the network (one of the LAN ports of a Wi-Fi router) and try to print from the new MacBook Pro. Would this work?
yes it worked but the problem is, old MacBook must have to connect to the printer to use bonjour printing and it showed that location of the driver is in the old MacBook.so I can not print only by new MacBook.
This is not a problem with Big Sur, but well with the M1 Macs. I have a 2017 MacBook Pro with Big Sur and the Samsung ML-1860 is recognized automatically with appropriate drivers. On my M1 Mac Mini though, I couldn't find anyway to make it work :-(
Just interested to know whether you have tested a print server. This if USB on the computer somehow affects the ability to print. Perhaps something like a TP-Link TL-PS110U connected via USB to the printer, and by Ethernet to one of the LAN ports of a Wi-Fi router. Then a wireless connection from the M1 Mac to the router. Possibly using the Samsung universal print driver V3.93.01 (Feb 11. 2021)?
Well, no, I don't have a print server (and not sure it's worth it: a good one is almost the same price that I paid this printer ;-)). But I guess I could share the printer from my other mac on the network.
I tried the Samsung universal print driver. It doesn't contain this model, only some ML-1640?, M2020 and others. But none of those worked. Well, it goes further than when choosing a random non-Samsung driver: at least it prints something, but that's an error message page...
Thank you. Yes, a new print server would be at least USD 30 or so, but you may find a less expensive, used model via an online auction site. Some routers do have USB ports for printers (but support may be limited to certain models). A printer shared by your other Mac could of course be tested. If you do not want to tie up the Mac for this purpose, you could perhaps check whether Ubuntu (or another Linux distribution) combined with an old PC would be an alternative (see my earlier reply above). Samsung ML-1860 drivers for Linux can be found via -en/drivers/selfservice/samsung-ml-1860-laser-printer-series/19134650. There are even articles about AirPrint servers using a Raspberry Pi.
