Samsung printer issues can't print

Had trouble with Lexmark laser. Had to go in and remove and then add back in Settings for printers & scanners. No issue with a canon unit that I rely on for scanning and color photos.
I just deleted it, But when I added it back as new just says can't open malicious file..
bummer what a pita.
thank you tho.
How is you printer connected, and does it have a media reader slot for SD cards and such? It’s possible it’s trying to open the media port instead. That’s what mine does.
Mine does this too sometimes when the printer goes into sleep mode and I try to print. Instead of waking I get an error.
solution for me is to fully power down the printer and then turn it back on after a minute or so. Occasionally I have to reboot my computer while the printer is powered down.
For this reason, I now leave my printer powered off until Ineed to print.
There have been a lot of issues with drivers that are 32 bit not working with Catalina, which only supports 64 bit software. Older printers seem to be especially vulnerable, as many OEM’s have stopped software support for them.
Samsung printers especially seem to be in a unique position. HP bought Samsung’s printer division a few years ago and is now on the hook for driver support.
Essentially it looks like HP has not upgraded Samsung’s older drivers.
You can see other Samsung printer owners complaining about their drivers failing after they upgraded in this HP support forum thread:

Printer driver for new Mac OS 10.15, Catalina
Just installed the new Mac OS 10.15 only to find HP isn't supporting it yet. Any idea where a driver can be found so this Envy 7645 printer is useable? Or, when HP will provide an updated driver? Printer worked great with 10.14 and last available driver.
can't it be fixed by removing the quarantine flag ?

"Install Spotify" can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software
I'm running macOS 10.15 Catalina Beta. When I try to install Spotify I see the following error: Is this a Spotify issue or a Catalina issue? Thanks.
I have an issue printing to my Samsung printers. Nothing but garble gook comes out on many pages. I have to cancel the print job on the printer before it kills a tree. Issue started on my old mac after I upgraded to Catalina and continues on my new fresh install 16" Macbook Pro.
Same here with my Canon MX890 Series printer/scanner. But for my scanning tasks, I use the excellent third party product called VueScan. Has ALWAYS worked like a charm.
Had the same problem. The Samsung M- 2835. After the update, the printer was useless. I felt it was such a waste that the printer was now useless. It's not that old either and still works just fine.
I was looking for a new printer on B&H and realized the Xerox had the exact same printer but with their own badge- the B-210. Looking at the Xerox website, it seems like they started selling it first half of 2019.
The off chance, I downloaded the driver from the Xerox site and installed it. Running the install, it found my printer as an AirPrint device. I added it and ran a test print and it worked. Seems to be good so far.
Again, if you have the Samsung M-2835, look for the driver for a Xerox B210.
Good luck to you.
Awesome
I don’t have mine anymore to try it.
still haven’t bought a new one yet.
thx for the tip to bad I don’t have it.
I was warned several OSs back (by a 'Genius') that Samsung printers were often problematic, and that they weren't great at keeping their drivers (or the ones they provide Apple) recent. Lots of otherwise capable Samsung printers out there, but not working on Mac.
Took that onboard - I currently run an 'old' HP Laserjet P1102w and a Epson ET-2750 without issue on Catalina.
(A sidebar: It's my experience in general that Samsung is very slow at keeping any of their devices updated with software / drivers. And once the warranty is done, well, good luck. But I digress....)

Precisely correct. The error reported are related to installers that are not notarized.
Awesome! I had no idea that Xerox sells the same model as Samsung with another name. We have a M-2835 at the office and my boss is the only one who uses macOS, the printer still working just fine on Windows and he was kinda upset with this.
Just sent this driver to him. Hope it works.
Best regards,
