Samsung CLP-325W OS X 10.13 printer driver needed

[robertesmonde]

I accidentally deleted my working driver for a Samsung CLP-325W laser printer and can't seem to find one that's compatible on the HP site.  Can anyone help, please?

Thanks!

Hi,

The latest print drivers for Mac OS X were available for 10.10.

You may try installing below drivers and check if that may work:

Thank you very much, ShlomiL.

Much appreciated.  I'll give that driver a try - fingers crossed it will work out fine.

Hello again, ShlomiL.

I'm embarrassed to report that I've solved my driver problem.

I had disconnected the USB cable from the printer.  The printer is located in a really awkward location under a desk in an alcove.  I've been suffering from some knee problems so getting in and checking everything in detail was problematic.  When I removed the cable from the printer I did take note of the orientation of the USB connector, and made sure I put it back with the same orientation.  However, as my cry for help indicates, I could not get the printer or various re-installations of the driver to work.  I tried connecting it to different USB sockets on my iMac and USB hubs without success.  I also disconnected and reconnected the printer cable at the printer, just in case.

Today I decided I'd try a different cable, although I was confident my existing cable was not damaged.  The replacement cable made no difference, but when removing it from the printer I noticed a socket below the USB socket.  It was difficult to spot from the angle of access I had.  The printer is reasonably old so I'd forgotten that it might have an ethernet socket.  I'd never used it and had just used USB and WiFi.  I decided to try a network cable in that socket but couldn't get it to locate properly in that empty socket.  Eventually I got down on hands and knees and pulled the printer out only to discover the labelling on that socket was for USB!  I had been putting my USB cable into the Ethernet socket, and it happily went in and out repeatedly and seemed a snug fit.  Used the correct socket and my printer showed up in System Preferences and worked immediately.

Embarrassing lesson learned, but thanks again for your help.
