Connect wireless printer to imac?

Question

I'm having a bit of trouble connecting my wireless Samsung ML2010 to my iMac that I just purchased. It may just be that it's not compatible but I downloaded the mac driver, went into the Print & Fax utility, added the IP address for the printer and all seemingly necessary steps, yet the first error message I got was the "broken pipe" error saying it could not reach the printer... Then I deleted the information I put in, added it in again and now it just says the printer's network is busy and will try again in 5...10...15 +++ seconds, and keeps counting up. I'm running out of ideas, can anyone offer any suggestions or let me know if this printer just won't work?

Answer 1

Okay, There can be a number of issues. I'll give you the most common.



1. Did you check for an Apple Software Update. (General not the specific Drivers)



2. Are you running Snow Leopard or Leopard. If its Snow Leopard most likely the Manufacture in this case Samsung and Apple haven't released the fixed version for it. I'm running snow leopard and my Canon Pixma wasn't working for about a week wireless because of this.



3. Try an Automatic Setup. Go to System Preferences, then Print&Fax, then underneath the box that lists the installed printers if any are there click the Plus (+) , Then check if your printer is listed. If it is highlight it then follow the instructions. If you have any other questions feel free to contact me. Good Luck.

Answer 2

a extra smart question is why could you purchase a on the spot printer in case you haven't any longer have been given a on the spot connection at domicile? to respond to your question, the usb end connects to the laptop and the different end connects to the printer.
