konica minolta printer driver

We have two different model Konica Minolta networked multifunction printer/scanner devices in two offices. Windows users get to control color or just B&W printing and two-sided or single sided printing, but our Mac users (10.8.5) using the Mac driver from the vendor's CD get none of those options. One of the printers is a Bizhub C284e model.

Does anyone have a solution or are we just not using the drivers properly?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), iMac (13,1); iPad2 iOS 7

Have you checked the manufacture's web site for a driver update?

Did just do that and there is a more recent version. Downloading and will try it. The other device, C351, does not have any newer driver and that was for 10.6 OS X. For our C284e will see if the newer driver helps any. I was hoping someone had encountered and solved the issues.

We have a Bizhub 363 and I just downloaded the latest driver from last year. I goes through 8.x, but it doesn't work. Minolta needs to create a new driver for Mavericks. The error message says that there are security issues with the old driver. I can see the print options in the print dialog box, but they are struck through and can't be used. Hopefully Minolta will get it together and issue a new driver for Mavericks. I can print fine at home with another printer, but the Minolta at work is now problematic. I have to use the old iWork modules if I want to print. I can't use the new pages, etc. Let's go Minolta!
