Mac Basics: Printing in OS X - Apple Support


Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to make sure OS X is up to date. This also updates the database of available printer software provided to Apple by printer vendors. If this is not done, you may see messaging that software is not available.


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
