How to get this to work on your Mac::

Run this off of a Windows Virtual Machine:

If you have a desire to use this printer on your Mac, you could run Windows as a Virtual Machine, and then run the printer off of that, while your macOS is running itself in the background.

Virtual Machine Programs are VMWare Fusion and Parallels. Basically, it is Windows-in-a-window. Use Windows XP and Up.

What is so difficult about you telling us exactly what OS your mac is on, click on the Apple top left of your screen and click on About This Mac.

If your mac is on Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 then you should be able to install the drivers from here,

Make sure the printer is on, connect it to your mac. Open System Preferences> Printers & Scanners. If the printer is not listed in

the left hand column then click on the + button to see if you can add it.

If you need to install the drivers for this printer then you can get them from this link,

I think he just made a typo when writing 10.6, she does say at one point 106 (El Capitan).

So perhaps we need a bit more clarity, they are posting on the El Capitan community after all.
