[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1623803, member: 175845"] I can never understand Apple and the various brands printers and their support or lack of it, and why some just quit working with an OS X upgrade. Among our old printers we still use, all working and networked is an old, and I mean old, HP LaserJet 4ML that's our old reliable. And if some wonder why that's so incredible, the HP LaserJet 4ML is an AppleTalk only printer that uses a Mac serial DIN cable/connector that we have connected through an AsanteTalk adapter and an old Mac running OS X 10.5.x - the last OS X to support AppleTalk. So far it's cost us $50.00 for a toner cartridge and it's almost finished its third box of 5,000 paper pages. And yet Apple still supplies the HP LaserJet 4MLdriver that's still working with our OS X 10.9.5 Macs. [url=http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201465]OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download - Apple Support[/url] Unfortunately not so for the OP it seems unless a similar driver will work, as mentioned, so not even using an older Mac with an older OS X networked and shared to use the Samsung ML-1430.
