For Mac OS X, where can I get up-to-date drivers for my printer?

Mac OS X includes generic drivers for a number of printers as part of the default installation of the operating system. You can also download printer drivers from the Mac OS X downloads page. Click the link for your printer manufacturer, and then find your model.

To find printer drivers or driver updates for Mac OS X, consult the following list:

• Apple
• Brother
• Canon
• Encad/Kodak
• Epson
• Hewlett-Packard
• Lexmark
• Minolta-QMS
• NEC

If you are using Mac OS X 10.2 or later and find your printer is not supported, consider installing Gimp-Print, which provides an extensive set of third-party drivers written for the CUPS printing system first included in Mac OS X 10.2. To download Gimp-Print or view its documentation, visit the Gimp-Print web site.
