I have an ML-2165w printer my dad gave me. It’s a great little laser printer—compact and cheap to run. But I found you can’t install the driver on the newest Mac anymore, even though the hardware works just fine.
I didn’t want to throw this printer away, as it’s still working! I found Michele Nasti’s blog mentioning a way to make it work with the newest Mac. I’m writing an article to keep a copy of the technique in case that blog goes down. I’m also providing the drivers I’ve downloaded from the official HP site.
Here’s the solution:
- Download the Mac v11 driver from this link. In the dropdown box, select macOS 11, and you’ll get the driver in the correct version, V.3.93.01. Be sure to avoid the Mac 10.15 driver listed on the same page.
I’m going to keep a copy of this file on my site just in case
-
Open the .dmg file.
-
Click on
MAC_Printer
, thenPrinter Driver.pkg
, and follow the installation steps. -
When prompted to connect the printer, you need to perform an additional step:
- Instead of using the proposed driver, select the driver from the list. The proposed driver will not work.
– From the list, choose the driver for the Samsung M2060 series.
And there you have it! Your old Samsung ML-2165w printer should now work perfectly with your new Mac.
Again thanks to Michele Nasti for the tip
