Are there any alternative Mac drivers for Samsung printers?
I've got an old (2003) Samsung ML-1510. The only Mac driver available requires Rosetta (PPC emulation) to get installed.
According to various news sites, Mac OS 10.7 will drop Rosetta. So I'm looking for alternative drivers. I checked Gutenprint but the ML-1510 isn't in the list of supported printers.
Do you happen to know an alternative other than buying a new printer
Try this driver: http://guigo.us/mac/splix/
Works well wih my Samsung ML-1510 on OS X Mountain Lion.
I use an old ML-1610 on OSX and am in a similar boat I think. I can't check right now (not at home), but I found some third party driver (probably Gutenprint) and got it working by trying a few different printer models with mine. So in the worst case, you may luck out finding a driver for some other printer model compatible "enough" for your purposes.
An alternative would be to set up some kind of print server using older, but fully compatible software. You could do it as a VM or use an old computer. That said, the modern versions of Samsung's printers that compete with your model are fairly inexpensive too. But you're probably like me, unwilling to throw out hardware that's otherwise completely functional for your needs.
