Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I understand you are facing trouble with scanning from your Samsung Xpress SL-C1860FW Color Laser Multifunction to your MacBook? Let's troubleshoot the issue step by step:

• Check Connectivity: Ensure that both your MacBook and the Samsung printer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
• Update Software: Make sure that your MacBook's operating system and the printer's firmware are up to date. Sometimes, compatibility issues arise due to outdated software. Software and Drivers for Samsung Xpress SL-C1860FW Color Laser Multifunction Printer
• Verify Network Settings on Printer: Access the printer's settings menu and verify that the Wi-Fi connection is active and properly configured.
• Configure Printer Settings: Check if the printer's settings allow scanning over the network. Sometimes, there might be an option to enable or disable network scanning.
• Restart Devices: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues. Restart both your MacBook and the Samsung printer.
• Reinstall Printer Drivers: Uninstall the printer drivers on your MacBook and reinstall them from the official Samsung website. Make sure to download the drivers compatible with macOS Sonoma 14.4.1.
• Check Firewall Settings: Ensure that your MacBook's firewall settings are not blocking the communication between the MacBook and the printer.  
• Use Image Capture App: If you haven't already, try using the Image Capture app on your MacBook to scan documents. Open Image Capture, select your Samsung printer from the device list, and attempt to scan.
• Try Samsung Easy Document Creator: Samsung provides a software called Easy Document Creator for scanning documents. Install this software on your MacBook and see if it helps with scanning.
