You can download the Samsung ML-1640 printer driver from the official Samsung (now part of HP) website. However, since Samsung has stopped supporting some of its older models, you may need to look for the drivers on the HP website or other trusted sites. Here’s how you can do it:
Option 1: From HP's Official Website
Go to the HP support page: HP Support
Search for "Samsung ML-1640" in the search bar.
Look for drivers and downloads for the ML-1640 model. They may offer drivers for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Option 2: Third-Party Trusted Sources
If you can't find the driver directly on HP's website, you may be able to download it from trusted third-party websites, such as:
DriverGuide
Softpedia
Make sure to always download from reputable sources to avoid malware or other issues.
Option 3: Use Compatibility Mode (Windows)
If the driver for your printer is not directly available, you can try using an older version of the driver or a generic Samsung printer driver via compatibility mode in Windows.
Steps:
Download the available Samsung printer driver for your version of Windows.
Right-click the installer and select Properties.
Go to the Compatibility tab and choose an older version of Windows (e.g., Windows 7 or Windows XP).
Run the installer in that compatibility mode.
