Connect the Ubuntu PC via Ethernet to the network (one of the LAN ports of a Wi-Fi router) and try to print from the new Mac. An Ubuntu PC can handle Bonjour (mDNS/Avahi), and a shared printer should thus be recognised by Mac computers on a network. Then this printer could be configured to be shared (only a few steps).

A printer (such as the CLP-320) could be connected to a USB port on the Ubuntu PC.

There are Samsung CLP-320 drivers for Linux (Ubuntu) from HP. If necessary, and with access to another (spare) Mac or PC, there may be a couple of workarounds (experimental):ĭo you have access to an older PC? If so, you could try to download and install an appropriate (free) Desktop version of Ubuntu on that machine, in order to make it a print server.
