Note: I had a difficult time installing the HP driver since the installer wanted to connect my printer.

Headless Raspberry Pi setup using the Raspberry PI OS Lite.This resulted in the printer being usable as a "generic postscript network printer." Here are some links to the steps I used. I used a Pi Zero W, set up CUPS, and added SMB. My driver showed up in the version 3 installation of the application. Download version 2 and execute the installer in winXP compatibility mode. The current Samsung Universal Printer Driver is at version 3 which does not support my printer. I got it working two ways.įirst way: USB-connected printer. It still works perfectly so I made an effort to keep it alive. Samsung sold their printer biz to HP and these printers are way past end-of-support. I picked up this little workhorse printer 17 years ago and it was really cheap. Telling a monochrome device to print letter-size 600dpi shouldn't be this difficult.


This took me a while to figure out, so I thought I'd share something here that I wish would have showed up in my many google searches while trying to get this to work.
