Getting the Samsung ML-2525W wireless printer working on your Mac OSX [setting & configuration]

This is a great printer, good value for money. Unfortunately the instructions for Mac users suck. So here are my instructions to get it working with your Max OSX as per my Amazon review, which a couple of people found useful:

If installing on a Mac/OSX do not use the Samsung drivers they dont work (for most others too). Spent hours with the Samsung drivers, no luck. If you have installed the Samsung supplied or downloaded drivers, then uninstall them. 
For a seamless sub 5 min wireless installation, do it like this:
  1. Setup up printer hardware according to quick-start guide (supplied) 
  2. Insert supplied CD-ROM, dont launch the installer. Open a finder window go to /MAC_Installer/MAC_Printer/WirelessSetting directory/folder 
  3. Launch 'Wireless Setting' application and follow instructions. [UPDATE: if you dont want to do this from the supplied DVD, you can download the Wrireless Setup utility direct from Samsung at : http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/ML-2525W/XAA ] 
  4. When you get to the window which lists available wireless networks you need to wait up to a few minutes for them to appear, your wireless network may not appear instantly) Once your network appears, continue with instructions and your printer will be setup on the wireless network.
  5. Now, WITHOUT the Samsung printer driver installed, open your system prefs, where you would normally add printers. (On OSX 10.6 click the + plus icon) 
  6. You Mac will find the printer via the Bonjour service (wirelessly), and simply click add. Your system may download some software from Apple. 
  7. DONE - Happy Wireless Printing - no need for faffing around for hours with the Samsung Drivers (which don't work)

Cheers

    A HP wireless printer like all printers right out of the box is just useless scrap, just like a living being with an empty brain. A software is required before it can be connected to the wireless network and do the task it is designed for.Installing software is however, not as simple as loading the...

    Being investigated or charged with a crime can be a terrifying and stressful experience. Whether you've been arrested in Maryland for a state-level offence, agents are knocking on your door with a warrant to search your home or business, you've been indicted on federal criminal charges, or you're simply a witness called to testify in someone else's criminal trial, you need a Maryland criminal lawyer who has the knowledge and experience to handle your defence and protect your rights to due process.

    You're fighting for your life in these instances, because the ramifications of a conviction go far beyond the potential of jail time. Criminal charges will have a negative impact on your profession, family, reputation, and income.

    A knowledgeable, experienced, and aggressive Maryland criminal defence lawyer could help you through the criminal justice system and achieve the best possible outcomes.
