Mac printer setup, AirPrint and driver selection

Check the possible causes in order. If connection and device checks pass, use the exact model guide to investigate driver compatibility.

Match the OS and model

Compare your macOS version with the manufacturer support list. An old installer may not support a newer system.

Choose the available software

In Mac printer setup, select supported AirPrint or manufacturer software. Available options and scanning features vary.

Network and testing

Check supported interfaces and local connectivity, then test a small document. Printing-system reset can remove existing printers and jobs; assess its impact first.
