Samsung Xpress SL-M2020W
macOS 10.12 Sierra

I am having issues with the SL-M2020W when trying to print in "High Quality (1200dpi)" on Mac.  I believe this to be a driver issue. Any advise on how to fix this would be appreciated. 

 

Symptom:  When printing in "High Quality" the image gets stretched out and has +/-5mm white horizontal banding. This does not happen when printing in "Normal".

 

Image printed: Vector image of a hexagon exported to PDF. 

Printer firmware:  V3.00.01.23

 

The symptom described above only happens on Mac. When printing the same file using WIN10 both "Normal" and "High Quality" prints perfectly.  The printer is brand new.

After some fiddling, I figured out the problem.

 

1. Install the latest drivers by downloading it from HP.  (I did this previously, but Step 2 provided the solution.)

2. Manually add the printer. DO NOT accept the "default" settings provided by OSX. Manually select the driver instead and everything works as it should.
