Latest Version: 2.0.0
This is a Mac OS X package for SpliX, a set of CUPS Printer drivers for SPL (Samsung Printer Language) printers. If you have a such printer, you need to download and use SpliX.
Note: Pat mentioned an alternate driver on this comment which may help some of you having trouble with SpliX
Available Downloads
- Splix-2.0.0 (Recommended, but tested only with Snow Leopard)
- If 2.0.0 does not work, download Splix-1.1.1
This is an Universal package, but all my development occurs on Snow Leopard/Intel and I haven’t tested this package neither on Leopard/Tiger or PPC systems. Anyway, it *should* work – feel free to contact me if you have any issues.
Supported Printers
- Dell 1100, 1110
- Samsung CLP-200, CLP-300, CLP-500, CLP-600, CLP-610, CLX-216X, CLX-2170, CLX-3160, ML-1510, ML-1520, ML-1610, ML-1630, ML-1710, ML-1740, ML-1750, ML-2010, ML-2150, ML-2250, ML-2510, ML-2550, ML-2571, ML-3050, ML-3560

thanks very much…have just changed over to an iMac from a PC after many years, and was rather confused that my ML-1610 didn’t work even though the computer recognised it and named it correctly…downloaded your driver and using the ML-1510 choice it works again! Cheer!
Peter Hindle
Thank you very much. My ML-1610 is now working perfectly on my Intel MBP.

Thanks for working to provide these drivers.
After spending several hours trying to install my old ML1740 upon upgrading to Leopard, I found this site and had the printer running within minutes.
Luigi
Thank you so much for sharing this work!!!
On my machine (Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16GHz iMac under 10.5.3) — I get only 1 page out no matter how many copies I specify… maybe that’s just me…?
In any case, thank you VERY much!!!
Luigi
Nevermind — quantities work fine — I just had to repair permissions on Preview… they had been fouled up by moving to Leopard.
Cheers!!!
Gryphon
Hooray! After days of fighting with my new mac, trying to get it to recognize my good old ml 1610, your download worked absolutely perfectly. Thank you so much!

Thank you. It helped to solve my problem: Time Capsule dropping connection to Samsung ML-1630 and needing restarting to print one single page…

Hey Guigo,

Any one have any Ideas?

Thanks

I am almost hopeless after my laptop to which i connected my Samsung ML-1610 printer crashed. I have a new Mac with Leopard which I initially thought wouldn’t accomodate the printer. then I saw this site, downloaded the program and…Presto! It works! Thanks to the genius of Guigo.

I downloaded the driver for my ml 1740 and Mac OS 10.4.11 … still does not work. The red light on printer: On Line/Error will not go off. Can get printer to recognize the computer or vice versa. What can I do next? Thanks.

I deleted old drivers and cleared out Library. Rebooted Mac. Installed new driver and still does not work.
MitziG
It’s working. Downloaded another driver and it’s working fine now. Thanks.

Works well, ML1610 with Airport Express.
Occasionally the Airport will drop the printer (without logging anything), but a power cycle of the airport fixed it – could be the USB cable or printer.

Hi,
I have tried Splix on my OS 10.4.11 for PPC. The system recognized the printer and named it correctly upon connection. I have the Samsung ML-1610. Decent little printer for the money.
Can’t get anything to printer from TextEdit or Acrobat. I get the message “The process “rastertospl2″ terminated unexpectedly on signal 10″.
I tried installing the 1510 and 1710 drivers as others have tried with success, but not working for me. Maybe because it is a PPC?
Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks a lot for this – it worked perfectly on my MacBook Pro, 2.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, OS X version 10.5.6 – all fine, and OK with multiple copies or printing single pages from a range.
Thanks!
Lisa
PS: It took me a while to realise that it doesn’t actually install a program or utility on your Mac. It simply adds the drivers to the printer list, so when you go to System Preferences, Print & Fax, add the printer by name and then the drive will appear on that list.
Great!
Terri
This is an excellent package. My MacBook (system 10.5) works with ML-1610 perfectly after downloading and installing this package. Thanks!

Hi Guigo
These drivers work very well on my Intel Mac but on my PPC G4 they print blank pages!
Do you have the original source? I could try compiling them on the G4 and see if they work that way, then send you back the compiled binaries.
Best regards,
Curious

Hey Guigo. Brian Tanner here. I recently did some system updates on my iMac and my printer disappeared!
So, I came to your webpage and downloaded your driver and life is good again. I’ll keep sending people your way when they find my web page

Thanks for this driver man. I just borrowed this Samsung printer off of a windoze friend, and I wasn’t expecting any kind of trouble.

Pat
gui,
Sorry this is so long but this is what happened on my machine (iMac MAC OS/X 10.4.11 2.33GHz 4GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM) to load the drivers for a Dell 1110. Maybe it will save some other poor soul some work.
When I downloaded and installed the drivers from the splix packages, they did not land in: HD/library/printers/PPDs/content/resources/en.oproj/
they landed in: /usr/share/cups/model/samsung and /usr/share/cups/model/dell
The choices were not coming up in the “Printer Setup” process and I tried all different ways. So I opened up a Terminal session and executed the following bash shell command to copy the files to what I thought was the right directory. I preserved the modification factors such as access time, file mode, etc.
cp -R -p /usr/share/cups/model/samsung /Library/printers/PPDs/
cp -R -p /usr/share/cups/model/dell /Library/printers/PPDs/
I tried this for splix 1 and 2 and went through the process again. It saw the drivers and the printer initialized but wouldn’t print.
Below are links to other downloads and info which confirmed the ML-2010 is equivalent to Dell 1100: The Samsung ML-2010 is a carbon copy of the Dell 1100 and has os x drivers on the samsung site.

This driver works on Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6.7), but not always. I had problems using this driver when printing some PDF forms. They would print with random small vertical lines scattered on the page. (Try the IRS Form 4506T for a commonly available example).
I went back to the Samsung driver from their Australia site, and problem solved. (I used version 0.97 from Dec 2008).

When I go to print, it will print the first time but the second time I go to print, often it doesn’t, especially printing from Apple’s “Preview” software.
In that way the software is kind of “squirrelly” but usually if I turn the printer off and back on before each printing that helps a lot.
Also, when printing and the printer’s icon appears in the “dock,” I click on it to watch what happens. I get a message saying, “SpliX Cannot get input slot information.”
If the software says “Error” then hitting the “Resume” icon in the top often will let it print. If the print job disappears from the job list of the software, then try printing it again a second or a third time.
If that doesn’t help, then turn the printer off and back on before printing. That seems to aways work for me!
Thanks a ton Guigo!!! I can now use the printer and not let sit there and be a 7 pound “paper weight!”
And when I see people at the computer store looking at printers, I tell them my experience with Samsung not keeping drivers up to date with newer operating systems. They thank me for the info and they won’t buy the Samsung printers!!! WAKE UP SAMSUNG PEOPLE!!!

Thank you ever so much for this. Worked for a CLP 320W and mac OS X 10.7.5, the official Samsung drivers would not work for some reason!
Thanks again

Thanks a lot! This driver still works on Mac OS X 10.8 with the samsung ML-1710.
Werner
Thanks a lot!
But I have one problem when printing a PDF containing a scanned text. In that case the print-out is quit poor and unsharp.
Is there a solution to get a better print-out?
Werner
Forgot to mention: it’s a Samsung ML-2250 with MacOs 10.8.4. Mountain Lion.

I got a successful message for downloading. But I do not know how to start it. By the way, I use Mac Mini and Samsung 2150. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Thanks a lot! Now I cab use my ML2250 with 10.8 again. But there is a little incovenient: the outprint of pdf is not so sharp as donne with the gdi driver.
But I prefer using the splix 2.0 because of the paper feed.
So does some know how to get a better qualitiy whe printing a pdf?

Many thanks Guigo. Samsung should be pleased that their ML 1510s are still going strong. Bought it for a Clamshell, now my new iMac can still drive it. Obrigado de novo.
Christian
Hi,
thanks for this – my old Samsung ML-1520 works well with Mountain Lion!
one thing: the US-Letter layout somehow seems to be “baked in” – my documents will only be printed with the right margins if I choose “US-Letter”. With (German) A4 it will cut off some lines on the top.
Anyways, keep up the great work.

hi guigo,
i’m desparately trying to get my ml-1610 running under iOs 10.8.3, but the system refuses to install your package since it isn’t provided by a certified developer. do you see any alternatives, possibly? I’d be grateful for any news.
kindest regards from germany _ lyam

My ML1610 works Great with SpliX 2.0 on Mountain Lion 10.8.4 .
Thanks.

Excellent work, thank you for very much! My old ML-1710 now works in OS X 10.8.3. Saved me, and Mother Earth, a new printer.

After implementation of Lion (10.8 on iMac 8.1) my CLP 510 doesn’t work anymore. I have deinstalled the printer (as recommended by Samsung) and I have downloaded the driver. Than I failed with the installation of the printer. A message “SPL installer (the installation program of the printer) is not supported anymore”.
Samsung’s support said: Only for 10.6 drivers are available. It’s not possible to create a driver for 10.8. I have to by a new printer or to change to OSX 10.6! Totally dorky.
As I understand the information in Splix I have to reinstall. Done already. Not the driver is the problem but (due to this hint to Power PC) a running installation CD is the problem!
Is there anyone with a solution or must i buy a new printer (not Samsung)?
Patrick
I was ready to chuck out my ML-1510 – drivers work perfectly, thank you so much!
Rodrigo
Amigo Guigo,
Esse driver é excelente. Salvou a minha impressora. Tou usando a ML-1610 e funciona muito bem.
Já agora, o 2.0 não está funcionando muito bem no 10.6 Lion, mas o 1.1.1 funciona lindamente.
Mais uma vez,obrigado!

Thank you SO MUCH! I’ve been looking for a solution for more than a year, and I didn’t want to have to replace my reliable ML-1710 and add more technojunk to the planet. Great work!!

Splix has driven my iMac/Samsung ML-1740 for the past 4 years through all the OS updates. Now I have 10.9 mavericks & the Samsung is not connecting. Does any one have a solution? Thanks, David

couldn’t find a driver to work with my recently upgraded mac (OSX 10.7) and thought would have to spend out more cash on a new laser printer…found your site via a Google search and now my Sansung ML-1510 is working!! Many, many thanks
Karen
Will you be working on a version for OS 10.9 (Maverick)? I just bought a Macbook Pro and would dearly love to keep using my old Samsung ML 1610.
Alex
Thanks so much….my old Samsung ML-1510 came back to live immediately I installed SPLIX on my Mac Book Pro….
Bests & keep on keeping on….

SpliX 2.0.0 isn’t working properly on Mac OS X 10.8.5 (12F45) with my Samsung ML-1740. Sometimes it prints, sometimes it doesn’t. I tried removing and reinstalling it, even reinstalling SpliX 1.0.0. Still the same problem. Prints the first job, then… anything goes.

Thank you, Guigo!
My Samsung ML 1510 is now working with OS X Mavericks!

Guido, we Dutch are known as frugal.
Never waste a good thing!
Thanks for helping me out with Samsung ML 1610 on Mac OS 10.7.5
The old “thing works” again!

Thank you! Now my Samsung ML 1710 works perfectly on Mac 10.9 Mavericks.
Just a small tip for other users: the .mpkg won’t open by double-clicking on it; press the Control key and choose “Open” from the menu instead.
grima1ex
Wow! It worked!
I’ve tried a dozen of different drivers and none of them could make my macbook to understand how to print on my Xerox Phaser 3117.
God bless you!
John Harper
Merci! Gracias! Danke Schoen Fist Bump!
Had an old Dell 1110 and was ready to e-waste it. You saved me!

Thank you so much. It’s wonderful !
Splix 2.0.0 works on my mac OS 10.9.2 (Mavericks) for my printer Samsung ML-1710
Dario
Thanks. On Maverick v1 works fine but only with one copy print. When printing multiple copies printer doesn’t stop.

Thank you very much for this utility. It allowed my Samsung CLP-510 to work just fine with OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

Harold
Thank you so much for this program – just think how much junk you have kept out of landfills!
Chris
Thanks a lot, I can finally print in OSX Mavericks with my old Samsung ML-1510 again…

this broke for me, but through a series of events, I was able to find a workaround for the “SpliX Cannot get input slot information.”
1-Install Splix 2.0
2-If you go to /usr/libexec/cups/filter/ and look for “rastertoqpdl” if it is there, type in what is inside of quotes on line 3- after appropriate SUDO stuff
3-”ln -s gstoraster pstoraster”
This made my xerox 6100 printer work I am guessing it will fix others also.
Pascal
Thank you very much for this valuable piece of software! It served me well under OSX 10.09 and 10.10 but unfortunately was not installing on the latest OSX. Still, I wanted to share how I managed to find a solution since so many of us having old printers might find the following information useful.
Good news: I was able to print again on a Samsung ML-1710 after upgrading to OSX 10.11 (El Captain). Here is how I did it and it might just work for other types of printers, I cannot tell but here goes:
1- Download Split 2.0.0 source code from http://splix.ap2c.org (splix-2.0.0.tar.bz2)
2- Unzip it to a temporary folder that you are to delete once done
3- Plug in your printer (in my case, the Samsung ML-1710)
4- Open System Preferences > Printers and Add your printer
5- Expand the “Print Using” field and then within the opened menu, select Other and it will open a ‘file selection’ dialog.
6- In the temporary folder where you unzipped Split 2.0.0, browse inside the /ppd folder and find your printer model (example, it was the ml1710.ppd for me)
7- Click Open and then if it worked like for me, the “Print Using” field should now be populated with something similar to “(Printer Name), SpliX V. 2.0.0″
8- Click Add
9- Try to print a page
Hope it will help others : )
Vincenzo Persico
Thank you again, Guigo!
I’ve installed (again) OS X Mavericks, and my Samsung ML 1510 is still working!

Thank you Guigo!
I was already looking into buying a new laser printer, but since I found the link to your page on Brian Tanner’s page (http://brian.tannerpages.com/content/view/55/69/) I don’t need to. I even got the ML-1610 working through a wireless print server box. That I couldn’t do by any other means. You saved my printer!
