Samsung CLX-9821 driver troubleshooting

Windows does not find the printer after installing the driver

Restart the PC and the printer. Then confirm the printer is powered on and connected to the same PC or network. Reinstall the driver if the printer still does not appear.

Printouts look faded, streaky or uneven

Check the printer's supply levels first. Print a test page afterward to see whether the problem persists. Replace any supply that is nearly empty, then try printing again.

Easy Printer Manager fails on a Windows 10 PC

Install Samsung Easy Printer Manager version 2.00.01.36. Samsung fixed a Windows 10 RS4 compatibility issue in that release, so updating from an older version may resolve the problem.
