    Hi guys,
    I just got a Samsung ML-2510 laser printer, I've installed it but I can't print anything. The samsung 'smart panel' in my system tray give an error: "The current printer port is not supported for the printer status" I tryed all the different ports under Printers and faxes >Samsung ML-2510 Series > properties, but they didnt fix it.
    The print queue just says 'error - printing' I've tryed reinstalling the printer with latest drives from the net. - same problem. The only thing I can print is a test page by pressing the test page print button on the actual printer.

    I'm usiong a usb cable from my external hdd to plug the printer into my pc, that shouldnt be any probs, ive also tryed another from my external sound card.- same cables but no joy.

    Please help!

    Ive allowed windows to search for drivers and it installes xeroxphaser 3124, now I can print documents using either xerox phaser 3124 or Samsung ML-2510 Series. Yay! but there is still some sort of configuration error somewhere because the 'smart panel' says ' usb printer status not available' and samsung's 'Dr printer' program gives some error when it tryes to check the printer.

    Oh well, I can print! yay!

    Im using xp pro btw

    Interesting. I just purchased this printer at Staples yesterday. I have it hooked up to an ancient P3 desktop via the old parallel port. Works fine so far. Did you download the latest driver from the Samsung website?
