Question

Brother HL-L2390DW

Will my printer as the title have the Printers&Scanners option in OS X Mountain Lion? Just resetting it to see, if so I can print from OS X Mountain Lion. Mojave took so long for installation.

Hi,

According to the Brother support site, drivers are available down to OS X 10.10 Yosemite only.

However, since the Brother HL-L2390DW is listed in About AirPrint - Apple Support as a model supporting this driverless technology, it may be worth testing AirPrint with your OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion computer. An AirPrint-enabled printer can be used without additional drivers, provided that the printer and the computer are connected to the same network (Wi-Fi router). AirPrint is usually said to work down to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, but we should perhaps not rule out that there may be some kind of printer firmware limitation in this very case, so look upon this as an experiment.

Reset the Mac printing system to solve a problem – Apple Support (UK)

If necessary, you could verify the AirPrint functionality through the use of an iPhone/iPad.

I have hit a roadblock with reinstalling Mountain Lion. The problem with that only is, I can't get past the Internet Recovery. But, what I mean by that is I can do Wi-Fi Username and Passcode. Instead it'll do that and see that it's correct, but it freezes except the globe spinning. That is something that'll have to be fixed, I'm not taking this computer apart and I'm not sending it to Apple.
Brother HL-L2390DW for my printer, I can do the drivers in Mojave. You're wrong actually, There is an pane in System Preferences in Mountain Lion for the printer I have/use.
I'm not going to send all 2 back just to figure out how they can. It will cost me $1000 to fly in-out of Cupertino CA, $100 for repairs, $25 for taxes. That's literally $1125 just to get this figured out! Who would pay that for it? Not me.

Hi,

Thank you. The information in your original post was limited. Based on this, I do not know how to provide a better answer. Also, please note that this is a user to user forum. We are users, just like you. I am not working for Apple.
