I have a Samsung SCX 3400 printer and it does not work with my Mac OS Ventura 13.4.
Can someone please suggest printer drivers I can use?

Hi,
Samsung printers are now part of HP.
You may want to try the Feb 27, 2023 V3.93.08 universal driver package:
Perhaps choosing something like the M2020 or M2070, or another model, if an entry for your exact model cannot be found. This may or may not work.
If necessary, reset the printing system between tests.

As always, make sure that you have backup copies of all important files before testing anything.

Hi Cuffarodavid,
The driver V3.93.08 is mentioned by HP as a Samsung Universal Print and Scan Driver for the Samsung Xpress SL-C480FW Color Laser Multifunction Printer.
If necessary, you may want to try Apple's Image Capture for scanning. I do not know whether an additional ICA driver will be needed, though.

If nothing else works, a third-party (paid) product could possibly be of interest (there is a free trial version).

It is also worth noting that the Samsung Xpress C480FW is listed in About AirPrint - Apple Support as a model supporting Apple's AirPrint technology. This means that printing should not require an extra driver, provided that the C480FW and the Mac computer are connected to the same network. AirPrint works with wireless (Wi-Fi) or wired (Ethernet) network connections, so you could choose to wire this printer by Ethernet to one of the LAN ports of the Wi-Fi router (instead of connecting wirelessly), if you so wish. This way, some of the difficulties related to Wi-Fi may be avoided.
Many Thanks! This also worked for a Dell 1110 which is a Samsung ML-2540 I believe. I downloaded the app and then selected ML-2160 with MAC OS Ventura 13.6.7
I have a Xpress C480FW Samsung printer. The software 'easy printer manager' disappeared. I tried the universal drivers, and the basic hp recommended drivers. I can open and document and print because the printer is on the WiFi. But no longer have the software in applications to allow scanning, disappeared. Contacted Samsung who said they sold to HP, contacted HP, they said they don't support it. It's probably a macos release problem. Does anyone have a solution> I'm using Ventura 13.6
You need to get them from the Samsung website. Be aware, not every device out there is supported yet, and may never be, by new drivers for Ventura. That's at the discretion of the hardware maker.
Thank you so much! It finally worked I had to choose M2070 even though my printer was visible but after trying so many things, this WORKED!!
Glad to hear that. You're welcome!
Hi,
Thank you for the information. Glad to hear that it worked with the Dell printer as well.
Which printer drivers are recommended for macOS Ventura 13.4?
