Mac Samsung The Current Printer Port Is Not Supported For The Printer Status

You might experience issues such as these when you try to print from your Mac or print from your iOS device:

• You can't see your printer from your device, or you get a message that no printers were found.
• You get a message that software for your device isn't available.
• You have some other printing issue related to the software on your Mac or iOS device.

For help with an error light or other error condition on the printer itself, check the printer's documentation or contact its manufacturer.

Double-click the printer and if there are print jobs displayed in the queue, choose Printer, then Cancel All Documents. Close the window. Right-click the printer, choose Properties, and click Print Test Page. Note: If the printer is a network printer and the test page does not print, network issues could be the cause.

If your printer is AirPrint-enabled

If your printer is AirPrint-enabled for printing from your Mac or iOS device, just make sure that it's connected to the same Wi-Fi network used by the Mac or iOS device.¹

If you still can't print, try any of these solutions:

• Restart your Wi-Fi router. Then restart your printer.
• Move your printer closer to your Wi-Fi router.
• Update your printer and Wi-Fi router with the latest firmware from the manufacturer.²
• Update the software for your Mac or iOS device.

If you're using a Mac and you still can't print, it might help to reset the printing system. Otherwise, contact the printer manufacturer for support.

4. Reconnect your printer to your Mac, if applicable.
5. Turn on your printer and wait for it to finish starting up.
6. Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click Printers & Scanners.

2. Firmware updates—such as for AirPort base stations—update the software on the printer or router, not the software on your Mac or iOS device. If the latest firmware from the manufacturer is several years old, the manufacturer might have stopped supporting or updating your device. If so, you might need a more up-to-date printer or router.
