Quick question -- do they keep the drivers updated for Mac?
Canon basically deprecated my perfectly working all-in-one laser + scanner by refusing to update the drivers for new MacOS versions.
edit: specifically, the scanner, esp the autofeed scanner bits
- sorum 4y agoI'm using a Mac and the default AirPrint drivers. Don't have any of the Brother software installed, even the scanner works perfectly through the native macOS settings.
- germinalphrase 4y agoI have been using a Brother b/w laser for approx. three years and have had zero issues or headaches. Just works.
- irrational 4y agoBrother? No, they do not. Recently Airprint stopped working on our Brother printer. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it, including updating drivers, except... they no longer have mac drivers for our printer.
- NovemberWhiskey 4y agoDo you mean AirPrint? That's printer-side functionality that explicitly doesn't depend on any drivers; that's literally its entire value proposition.
- irrational 4y agoSorry, yes, AirPrint stopped working. I know it is on the printer, but I was getting desperate after trying everything else and figured updating the drivers couldn’t hurt. Though, that did lead me to find a Brothers program that allows us to continue using the printer using a cable. Though it is an extremely barebones program. Everything has to be converted to a pdf before it can be printed.
