I have been given this Samsung printer [MyJet Plus 2200cc]. Is it possible to find a print driver for it for Mac? The print driver software that came with the printer on CD won't download. I thought maybe they'd be a "universal printer driver patch" (or something) somewhere. My google searches take me nowhere, or to Korean language sites -- which to me is as good as nowhere.
Thanks.

As far as I know samsung dropped Mac support years ago.
Perhaps using CUPS you could with with the low cost of printers these days it might make more sense to go but a new one.

I used my Samsung ML-1430 for quite a while with both PCs and the Mac here at home. I've moved on to a Brother laser printer solely because the new printer (after rebate) will have cost less than a new toner cartridge for the Samsung. There were issues; Skywalker is right about not much Mac support for some Samsung printers, particularly not much network printing support. I can't find ANYTHING on the printer you mention. Where did you get it?

Oops. My mistake. It's a :
SAMSUNG MyJet Plus - MJC-2200c.
At the link below, they have a bunch of print drivers for Windows, but sadly none for OSX.

I can only find anything on that printer through Google; I've tried a number of European Samsung support sites, but obviously haven't found YOUR location, because I can't find it on Samsung at all.
And everything I've found so far has been for Windows. Have you tried looking for a driver on the various CUPS sites?

No, not yet, because I don't know what a CUPS site is, but I'll check it out.
Thanks for your help.

Start with CUPS.org. It's Unix-oriented, but remember, OS X is a *nix OS.
