That was very inspired for me!

I've found last SpliX 2.0.0.0 (many links, but the archive is the same — it doesn't consist /usr folder in target.pkg — only Archive.pax.gz that I  can't gunzip | pax)

And I can't compile SpliX from sources...

 

But now I have PPD file for ML-1640. That's a big deal but still don't work on installation process 😞

 

Can you help?

Hello! I found the next solution for Samsung ML-1640.

I have MacBook Air M1 2020 with Mac OS Big Sur and Big Sur doesn't support ML-1640 oficially.

To resolve this problem I installed virtual machine Parallels Desktop with Ubuntu Linux ARM Server 20.04.2 LTS.

Ubuntu OS recognized ML-1640 and installed drivers automatically.

With help of Parallels Desktop and Ubuntu Linux ARM Server 20.04.2 LTS my ML-1640 works fine.

How does installing in Ubuntu allow for printing on big Sur? These are two separate operating systems.  Thanks in advance
