— THIS IS A REPOST ORIGINALLY POSTED ON THE APPLE SUPPORT COMMUNITIES IN 2010 —
Question : I have a Samsung CLP-315 connected via USB to an Airport Express. The problem is that the printer works for a page or two and then it stops working, usually with a larger document being printed. (Firmware on Airport Express is 6.3 and I am using OS X 10.5.5)
Answer : I had the exact same problem with my Samsung CLP 315 and my Time Capsule.
I seem to have fixed it this way :
- download & install the latest driver for the CLP 315
- download & install the latest AirPort Utility (Apple-software)
- after configuring AirPort Utility, close it & re-open
- in AirPort Utility choose Manual Setup
- in Summary click on the small arrow that appears on mouse-over left from / next to “USB Printers”
- on the page that appears, change the name of the printer to the exact name you want to use for it on your Mac (and leave the “Share printers over the Internet using Bonjour blank) and click “Update”
- go to System Preferences on your Mac, go to “Print & Fax” and “Add Printer” (the “+”)
- under the Default tab, select your Samsung CLP 315 (it will be listed exactly the way you’ve named it in your AirPort Utility, followed by the “Kind = Bonjour” info)
- now your printer’s Name, Location and Driver (“Print Using”) will all be listed automatically
- click “Add” and you can start using your Samsung-printer wirelessly through your Time Capsule
That seems to be all there is to it…
