For users who's printer/scanner does not have a compatible driver from their manufacturer:
How do I scan or print with the driver from Apple Software Update?
Depending on your printer and the type of driver update, you might need to scan in a different way than you did before you installed Mountain Lion.
Scan from the Print & Scan window:
- Place the item that you want to scan on the scanner glass, or load it into the automatic document feeder (ADF) if your printer has one.
- Click the Apple menu (# ), and then click System Preferences .
- Click Print & Scan (# ).
- Click your printer in the left pane.
