Third‑party driver sites confirm that the official driver package (version 2.00) covers only . That means no official support for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.9 Mavericks, 10.10 Yosemite, and certainly not for the modern macOS releases (Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura, Sonoma, Sequoia).
Step‑by‑step setup (decisive, practical route — try Universal/Apple first, fallback to generic)
Since there is no "official" update, the most reliable "exclusive" fix for Mac users is using the driver set via MacPorts or independent packages. This bypasses the need for Samsung’s outdated software entirely.
The same user who tested SpliX found that Samsung‑GDI “handles .jpg well.” It also supports a wider range of older GDI‑based Samsung printers that SpliX does not cover. The trade‑off is that Samsung‑GDI requires (an open‑source PostScript interpreter) and Foomatic‑RIP (a CUPS filter script), making the initial setup slightly more involved.
Samsung printer support was transitioned to HP Support years ago. Because the ML-2010 is a legacy device (released in the mid-2000s), HP does not provide official drivers for 64-bit macOS systems (10.15 and newer).
Turn on your Samsung ML-2010 and connect it to your Mac using a USB cable (use a high-quality USB-C to USB-B cable or adapter for modern Macs). Open (or System Preferences) on your Mac. Scroll down and click on Printers & Scanners .
If you are running macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or newer, use one of these community-tested methods to bypass driver limitations:
If you are unable to get the driver working directly on your Mac, you have three alternative hardware-based solutions that bypass the driver issue entirely.
" . Surprisingly, the ML-2150 driver often works as a "close enough" match for basic text printing on the ML-2010 Go to product viewer dialog for this item. .
Faced with a lack of official support, Mac users have had to look toward alternative solutions, the most prominent being the Gutenprint project. Gutenprint (formerly Gimp-Print) is a suite of open-source printer drivers that aims to provide high-quality printing for a vast array of older printers on Unix-like systems, including macOS.
