    Does anyone have views and experience of Samsung laser printers on a Mac (running Sierra), specifically the Samsung M2885FW?

    My Canon inkjet Pixma MX885 has now decided to keep giving me the error
    message 6C10. Several Google suggestions don't clear the problem, and
    the one remaining suggestion is somehardware work that feels beyond me,
    though it may not be too difficult in itself.

    I had a Samsung 315 for a quite while, wireless version. It worked very
    well for me - the only reason I've recently replaced is that eventually
    some smearing started happening and I couldn't work out which bit
    needed replacing, so I might have had to replace more than one piece
    and that made repair uneconomical. But 'eventually' = 'after around
    five years or so' I think.


    Cheers,
    Ian

    What exactly are you asking? It seems to be supported on macOS. So have
    you tried using it yet?

    I thought "views" would indicate that I wanted to know if people found
    that Samsung printers were good and easy to use. I was thinking of
    buying one because of good reviews, but those reviews were for Windows.
    Support for Mac OS does not necessarily mean that a manufacturer has
    been good at updating their software to work with new versions of the
    OS.

    But I now think I will go for a Brother printer.
