2. Once you are done with driver installation, simply follow printer adding instructions:

thanks for posting your solution, worked for me too.
Awesome – thanks so much for posting this, was incredibly helpful…
Thanks so much for putting this together; helped me immensely. BTW, that third link (gplgs-8.61-ub.dmg) is up a few versions, so people should visit the parent directory and find the latest..

Same goes for the others when they, too, are inevitably updated.

thanx, updated 3 link.
Hi Do you happen to know anything about the Samsung SCX5312 multifunction printers I am trying to connect my Mac to it over a network and not having much success. I am desperately searching everywhere to find and answer.
Sorry no idea
Thanks for posting this, it was very helpful. I’m psyched to have my printer back and working properly.
Thanks! Works great on 10.6 Snow Leopard (yes) with my Samsung ML-1210
Thank you for this! I’m back to printing on 10.6 with my Samsung ML-1710 and sharing it via the USB port of my Time Capsule
I was beginning to think I wouldn’t be able to use my ML-1210 on Snow Leopard. Thanks for making it possible!
Thanks! I thought I would have to replace my Samsung ml-1710 but these directions worked great! I have the printer running in 10.6 via the USB port on my airport Extreme.
I’m quite happy that Google is starting to pick up this page for ML-1210 and Snow Leopard searches – I once again have a usable printer!
(that last link should now be http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/macosx/gplgs-8.64so-ub.dmg)
Thanks to you I can now print from Mac OS X 10.6.1 with my Samsung ML-1710!
Thank you so much!! I’ve been searching everywhere for a solution to get my Samsung ML 1210 to work with Snow Leopard. Your links and instructions made it easy.
Thank you so much….!!!! I’m new on mac world. clear explanation helpful. Work for my ML-1710 A.K. xerox phaser 3120.
Thanks, the instructions helped, my ml-1210 work with SL. However, the printer does not print quite properly – the first couple of lines of each page does not fit into the printing area. Does anyone know how can this issue be fixed?
Hi, I have 10.6.3 and a Samsung ML-1710 printer. I followed the instructions above and was able to print, however the job doesn’t exit the print queue so I’m unable to make any additional prints. I have to either delete the job after it finishes and wait an hour for it to be deleted or I can delete and reinstall the printer. It’s getting to be a real annoyance.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks again.
