HI @Dianita18,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for reaching out!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

I understand you need a printer driver for your Samsung ML-2525 to use it on macOS Tahoe. Let’s go through a few steps to check what options are available and what you can try.

Understand driver availability on macOS Tahoe
The Samsung ML-2525 is a legacy printer model.
There is no official Samsung or HP driver that supports macOS Tahoe for this printer.

Check if macOS detects the printer automatically
Open System Settings > Printers & Scanners and click the + button.
If the printer appears, macOS may be able to use a built-in generic driver.

Try adding the printer using a generic driver
When adding the printer, look for options like Generic PCL Printer or Generic PostScript Printer.
These drivers provide basic printing without advanced features.

Test USB connection instead of network
Connect the printer directly to the Mac using a USB cable.
Older printers are more likely to be detected over USB than over the network on newer macOS versions.

Check if AirPrint is available
If the printer appears with AirPrint as the driver option, select it.
Note that many older Samsung models do not support AirPrint, so this may not appear.

Avoid installing old macOS drivers
Drivers made for older macOS versions (10.x era) will not install or function on macOS Tahoe.
Installing them can cause errors without enabling printing.

Confirm basic functionality expectations
If the printer is added with a generic driver, only simple black-and-white printing is supported.
Scanning and advanced settings are not available on this model.

I hope this helps.
