Although Samsung stopped providing official Mac OS drivers for the ML-1210 laser printer long ago, it is still possible to use this venerable old laser printer with the latest Mac OS X.
Samsung Printer Drivers for Mac OS X is a software package that provides the most recent release of the Samsung printing drivers that will provide support for OS X Mavericks, OS X Mountain Lion, OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard. You can see which printer models are supported. I have just updated my Mac to the Catalina OS and my Samsung M2026W printer is no longer working. Driver invalid and no help on HP site.

First download the latest Open Source Samsung-GDI for Mac OS X and GPL Ghostscript for Mac OS X packages from The Linux Foundation.
Next you’ll need the Foomatic-RIP package, but don’t download the latest version!
You need to use Foomatic-RIP version 3.0.2 (dated 30th January 2008), otherwise your print-outs will include a top margin which you can’t remove. Fortunately the older working version is still available from OpenPrinting.org.
Open each downloaded disk image in turn and run the installers. When all three packages have been installed you are ready to add the printer.
Connect your printer using an appropriate USB cable. Now go to Mac OS X System Preferences and select ‘Print & Scan’. Click on the ‘+’ button and a new ‘Add Printer’ window will open.

Your printer has been added. Legacy printer revival achievement unlocked!
One of the things that really should “just work” in the Apple environment is printing. Printers are a piece of hardware “sent from hell” and it doesn’t get any easier just because you have a Mac. See this insightful Oatmeal comic for why that is.

Unfortunately, Mac OS X Lion does not include drivers for the Samsung ML-1210, a cheap old black and white laser printer that I bought years ago.

Microsoft 365 Business Standard. Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise. Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise for Students. Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise for Faculty. Office 365 Midsize.
In common with other variants of OS X, Lion supports CUPS – the Common Unix Printing System. This means that generic open-source drivers are available to use that enable Lion (and indeed Leopard, and Snow Leopard) to successfully print using this printer.
There are three separate pieces of software to install, including the driver, but all can be found at this page on the Linux Foundation website.
Essentially, you need to download each Disk Image listed (Samsung GDI, Foomatic-RIP and GPL-GS) and run the installer inside each one.
Once you’ve done this, open System Preferences and then click Print & Scan. Click on the small + icon on the left which should bring up the Add Printer dialog box. Samsung ML-1210 should already be listed and, under ‘Print using the Samsung ML-1210 Foomatic/gdi driver should already be selected.
Click ‘Add’ and the printer will be added to the list of available printers on your system. Sorted!
