I have been using a Samsung CLP-320 printer (Colour laser) for years and it used to work on every macOS up until Big Sur. It used to be as easy as just attaching the printer to the Mac and the driver would be installed automatically.<\/p>\n

However that is no longer the case with Big Sur. You can no longer find a driver that works with macOS Big Sur. HP bought the printer business from Samsung and don’t seem to offer any new drivers.<\/p>\n

Instead of land filling the printer I decided to connect a Raspberry Pi Zero W to it and turn it into a WiFi accessible printer.<\/p>\n
