Driver Samsung Ml 1710 Windows Xp

1. Driver Samsung Ml 1710 Windows Xp

Note, September 8, 2015: This article was written for Windows 8, but the process also works with Windows 10. I have a Samsung ML-1210 printer, which is a pretty old black-and-white laser printer. Samsung made an unsigned 64-bit driver available for Windows Vista. This driver also happens to work with Windows 7 (in fact they later re-packaged it and added Windows 7 to the list of supported operating systems). Windows 7 complains about the missing signature but will allow you to install the driver.

I used it for a few years this way. However, Windows 8 is not happy to take the driver. It complains about missing file hashes, claims that the software was probably tampered with, and will not install the driver. Samsung also has a “universal” driver available. I couldn’t get it to work with the ML-1210. After quite a bit of searching, I came across an easy solution.

I noticed that several other Samsung printers from the era have the same driver available for download. Sure enough, the driver supports many different printer models, which is not surprising really since they probably all use a similar if not identical communication protocol. However, on the, they have a different version of the driver posted (9.61 MB instead of 9.6 MB, even though the version number is the same). Hmm It turns out that this driver also supports the ML-1210, and it is signed. Here’s what you do.

Download the “Print Driver,GDI” version 3.01 (9.61 MB) from the ML-2250 page (linked above). You get a file called ML-2250Win7GDI.exe. Use WinRAR or a similar tool to extract the files compressed in ML-2250Win7GDI.exe. In the files you extracted, navigate to Printer GDI VISTA64. Here’s your printer driver. Save the contents, and point Windows here during driver installation.

One other note. Windows 8 didn’t actually ask me for the driver. It just installed the printer without a driver, I had to find it under “Other devices” in the device manager and install the driver manually. After that, everything worked fine.

This solution is probably not limited to the ML-1210, but to other Samsung GDI printers that don’t have a signed driver available for download on their page. There are several printers listed as supported in the INF. Update: November 5, 2012 Pascal notes in the comments that this also works with a Lexmark printer, so it’s not limited to just Samsung laser printers. Also, I recently had an issue on the server that hosts this site and had to restore a backup of my database, so I lost a few days of comments right around the launch of Windows 8. A few other Samsung printers have been reported working with this driver, including the ML-1740. If you got your printer working, let us all know the model number in the comments below. Update: March 13, 2013 From the comments, it looks like there are some Xerox printers out there that also work with this driver.

Post navigation. For those with a Lexmark E210 having trouble, do this: 1. Using WinRAR, extract the ML-2250Win7GDI.exe into a folder (if you don’t know how to do this, search Google for an answer) 2.

Open Control Panel View devices and printers 3. At the top of the window, click “Add a printer” 4. In the window that appears, click “The printer that I want isn’t listed” 5. Click the radio button that says “Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings” and then click ‘Next’ 6. Choose “Use an existing port:” and leave it at “LPT1: (Printer Port)”, then click “Next” (Note: we will change the port after the printer is installed) 7. Click the button labeled “Have Disk”, and in the window that appears, click the button labeld “Browse” 8.

In the “Locate File” dialog, browse to the folder you extracted the ML-2250Win7GDI.exe into, and navigate to “Printer GDI VISTA64” 9. Click the file called “SPLV1.INF” and then click “Open” and then click “OK” 10. Scroll through the list of printers and select “Samsung ML-1200 Series” and then click “Next” 11. Here you can name the printer whatever you want or just accept the default. Click “Next” 12. If you want to share this printer, enter the information here, or if not, click “Do not share this printer”, and then click “Next” and click “Finish” 13. In the “Devices and Printers” window, right-click the printer that we just added, and choose “Printer properties” 14.

Click the tab labeled “Ports” and scroll down the list until you find “USB001”, then select it and click “OK” 15. Your printer is now fully functional! I was looking for information on installing my Samsung ML1210 on my new computer running Windows 8.1 home (64-bit) and found this information. I am somewhat computer literate and I was able to download the driver and find the folder Printer GDI Vista64. However, just how to I go about installing the printer and this driver on the machine. My old computer was running Vista Home Premium and I was able to just go to the Samsung site and get the printer driver for that computer and I just installed this printer on the old XP by just using the install disc and following those steps with no problems at all as well.

I can plug the printer in and turn it on and Windows 8.1 does see it in the devices and printers but there is no option for searching for drivers for it and it is not showing up in the device manager. I did see that you have information on installing for the Lexmark E210.

Would I follow the same steps for my ML-1210 on this windows 8.1 so that it works on this machine? I did try again, went to the devices and printers in the control panel and right clicked on the samsung printer but there isn’t a Printer Properties option. Just a properties option as well as open; create shortcut; remove device and troubleshoot. If I click on properties there is just a general and hardware tab. If I open the hardware it shows the samsung printer (other devices) and there is a little? On the pic for the printer.

If I highlight it and select properties and go to the drivers tab – the driver details states “no driver filers are required or have been loaded for this device. So I clicked Change Settings and in the screen that popped up I selected the settings tab and had it search for that driver on my computer and directed it to where I had the driver sitting and it installed it for me. Thanks Again — I greatly appreciate the help. Thanks Joshua, and Aaron, I have an ML1210 with several spare cartridges so I was quite reluctant to give it up. I followed your instructions for my windows 8.1 installation but needed to make several modifications.

1) You must connect to a USB2 port—– ML1210 has compatability issues with USB3 2) when I connected my printer to the usb port, windows 8 automatically recognized it and installed a worthless 1200 series driver that won’t function.leave it there for now. 3) download the 2250 file as Joshua and Aaron instruct 4 ) I tried to use a zip type file extractor but the Printer/GDI/Vista64 file did not appear, HOWEVER 5 ) I just ran the downloaded 2250 installation program directly. The installation wizard extracted the files all by itself and let me choose where to save the files. I saved them to a new 1210 folder in My Documents—- —- ———-Do not save in a” temp” file)!!!!!! Do not click the “next” button in this installation wizard.!!!!!!!——– 6) I then closed the installation wizard window.

Clicked yes to cancel installation and aborted the installation for 2250 printer without installing it. 7) the extracted files remained in the new 1210 folder I had created. The folders and files discussed by Aaron and Joshua all appeared in the new 1210 folder and I could navigate to “Printer GDI VISTA64″ 8) next follow Joshua’s instructions 2- 12 9 ) BEFORE doing step 13, check in the Devices and Printers box to see if you have the 1210 printer listed twice. If so open both. The one that is the functional 1210 printer will give you a control box for the printer. The other will give you nothing, as the driver installed by windows 8.1 for it, is non-functional).

Delete the NON-functional driver& icon. It is linked to the USB0001 port that you will want to use for your functional driver in Joshua.

Just wanted to add my sincere thanks as well – cheers! I got my ML-1210 working in Windows 10 Pro after upgrading from Windows 7 Ultimate. I only realised the printer wasn’t working when I needed to print something out urgently this morning – always the way, eh? I thought I’d post my method in case it’s any use to someone else. It’s possibly a bit simpler than some of the methods above. (1) I removed the existing non-working printer from Devices & Printers.

(2) I unplugged the USB cable. (3) I unpacked the files from ML-2250Win7GDI.exe download to a temporary folder.

(4) I went into the folder you mentioned (ML-2250Win7GDI Printer GDI VISTA64) and looked for any.inf files. (5) I found SPLV1.INF (the only one in there), right-clicked on it and chose Install. (6) When it had finished I then reattached the USB cable and the printer tried to install again but this time it found the new driver I’d just installed above.

(7) Works fine and shows up as Samsung ML-1200 Series (rather than just Universal Print Driver, which was the only other method I managed to get working but which involved unsigning the installer first – very messy!). Thanks for this Aaron – with the help of this post I too managed to get my Samsung ML-1210 working with Windows 10. However, I ran into some other issues that I had to resolve first (note I backed up registry & files before making the changes below) When I attached/plugged in the printer to a USB 2.0 port it was not recognised (nothing happened, no new hardware prompt, no device added system sound) When I attached/plugged in the printer to a USB 3.0 port it was recognised as a Samsung ML-1210 but an error message stated: “USB printing support is an older USB device and might not work with USB 3.0, Try plugging it in to a USB 2.0 port” Switched the printer to a USB 2.0 port, still nothing. However when I looked under “other” in Device Manager the printer was listed as a “Xerox Phaser 3112.” I tried updating the driver there using the steps above, but had no success.

No matter what I did I could get not get the printer installed. Eventually I stumbled over some posts regarding “unknownprinter” entries in the registry and another post detailing issues with the C: Windows INF usbprint.inf I deleted any registry entries relating to “unknownprinter” (I had to take ownership of these keys before I could delete) I got a copy of the usbprint.inf file from a clean install of Windows 10 (64 bit, same as my install).

I had to take ownership of usbprint.inf before I could replace it. See Then I rebooted and followed the steps above. At this point my printer was working – I could print to Samsung ML-1210 from applications but it was not being displayed under “devices & printers” I then found another post that explained that that a full proper restart would result in the printer being added to “devices & printers” Several restarts later, it was still not appearing then I read a post that stated that since Windows 8 restarting/shutting down uses a hibernate feature (for faster start times). To force a full restart I pressed windows-x (i.e.

The windows key and the x key) and chose restart from that menu. After that the printer appeared under “devices & printers” and everything was working perfectly. See Hope this information may help others. Thanks again Aaron. This solutions saved the day, or at least my reliable old ML-1210! I had spent 2 weeks trying unsuccessfully to link up my printer via an Edimax PS 3170U print server, which incidentally shouldn’t in theory work with the ML-1210.

The Samsung universal printer driver recognised the printer and switched it on, but didn’t print – even getting that far was difficult, as Windows 10 blocked the driver and I had to load it via the Command line. The only slight hiccup was that even although I was using the ML-2250 driver, I still had to select ML-1210 to get it to work. So, many thanks Aaron!! Working: Lexmark E210 on Windows 10 64-bit I also used these instructions: I used the SPLV1.INF found in the directory: PATH Printer GDI VISTA64 To access the driver UI, I went into the device manager and found the? (unknown) device printer and updated the driver.

It was somewhat a bear and I had to persistently navigate to the point where I could specify the path to SPLV1.inf and choose the ML1210 printer. A test page (spreadsheet) indicated success. Thanks for giving a printer a second-life.

I did start to download the driver from the link Needed to click the option see more / rather than more drivers as I just stated. While waiting on the download, I plugged in the printer and it was immediately found in the printers section of windows 10 (this computer is running windows 10 64 bit a clean install for the upgrade from windows 8.1 64bit). Anyway, I right clicked on the printer in the Devices and Printers and selected Properties. In the box that popped up I clicked properties in the hardware tab The general tab had an option to Change Settings So I clicked Change Settings and in the screen that popped up I selected the settings tab and clicked for it to search for a driver for the printer, it found a working driver, installed it and my printer is working.

I followed similar steps in the past to get it to work with windows 8.1, but then I clicked Change Settings and in the screen that popped up I selected the settings tab and had it search for that driver on my computer and directed it to where I had saved the driver. (note – this was after following the steps above. “Here’s what you do. Download the “Print Driver,GDI” version 3.01 (9.61 MB) from the ML-2250 page (linked above). You get a file called ML-2250Win7GDI.exe. Use WinRAR or a similar tool to extract the files compressed in ML-2250Win7GDI.exe. In the files you extracted, navigate to Printer GDI VISTA64.

Here’s your printer driver. Save the contents, and point Windows here during driver installation.”. I upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10, and surprisingly my Samsung Printer ML-1210 stopped working. What I did then, was very simple: 1) I found there still was the folder ML-1200 on my computer: This PC C: Temp ML-1200 2) In the folder there was Setup.exe, which I double-clicked 3) At one moment during the installation process there was an announcement about a missing file or something, which I accepted (was it to choose OK, or to do nothing, I don’t remember), but the installation process was done in less than a minute. 4) I opened my airplane ticket, pressed to print, and the printer started to humm and the page was printed perfectly!
