I will install my Sharp MFP that is PCL Printer. But I cannot find generic pcl driver while I try to add printer.
How I can activate or enable it? I use OSX 10.8.4 but another macbook OSX 10.8.4 have generic pcl driver for me to install.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
In the Print & Scan prefs, when you add + a printer, look near the bottom for the _Print using:_ which is a pull-down menu. Choose Other to get the choices.

Yes, I already choose it, but it didn't show generic pcl driver for me to choose. How can i add the generic pcl driver to the dropdown list.
But, another machine that is same osx 10.8.4, it have for me to choose.
So what do you see in this menu?

Boy, did I remember that dialog wrong... :-(
I was trying to point you to "select printer software" - but I see that I have several Generic choices there because I've installed Gutenprint - and Generic PCL Printer should be there as PAHU's post shows it.
Go ahead and Reset Printing System and see if it appears where it should:
I didn't get it. How you can tell me step by step to do it. Thanks
Steps 2 & 3 of that link (just above) are as close to step by step as I can get.
If you don't get the Generic stuff showing as in PAHU's post, you probably need to reinstall OS X.
Alternatively, you could install Gutenprint from:
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
Then you'll have several choices after clicking Select Printer Software.
