Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q)

Does the printer driver work on the latest macOS Sequoia (15)?

Yes, the Samsung Universal Print Driver (look in the table above) for Mac or HP Smart supports macOS 15 Sequoia and earlier versions.

The printer isn’t detected on Mac. What should I do?

Check if the printer and Mac are on the same network. Then, restart both devices. Try connecting via USB to confirm detection. Reinstall the driver if necessary.
