Apple keeps updated the database of drivers for printers and scanners

PRINTER DRIVERS

Another advantage of the OSX system is that Apple is continually updating the list of available printer and scanner drivers so that the user experience in the system is even better if possible.

Apple offers third-party software for scanners and printers by Software update. To configure a printer or scanner, we just have to connect them to the Mac so that if any software is necessary and available, OS X downloads and installs it automatically.

In this case it is the turn of the Epson and Xerox printers. Those in Cupertino have included support for the latest models of printers and scanners that these companies have put up for sale. In this case there are drivers for these printer models from OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard to OSX 10.9 Mavericks.

As we have said, this software is available for download automatically as soon as you connect one of these peripherals to your Mac. The OSX is in charge of detecting the model it is and if it is in that database , download the driver, install it and leave the printer or scanner ready to use in a few seconds.

Remember that if it does not recognize the printer or scanner you connect, you must go to System preferences and enter Printers and scanners. There you will be able to manually add a printer or scanner and you will also be able to select where the drivers are located to proceed with the installation.

    impossible to scan with epson in catalina, the epson scan2 program works only once every time I turn on the computer ... then it says that it does not recognize the scanner and I have to reboot to make it work. It is impossible to work that way !!!
