Minolta QMS Magicolor 2210 Laser Printer What solutions are there to print to a Minolta QMS Magicolor 2210 Laser Printer from a Mac running the latest Mac OS? (Mojave, I think it's called, at the current time)

If you add it by selecting its name, it works. The attached image is for a completely different printer, but it shows you what I'm talking about. I can only assume it was in a driver bundle that got installed for some other printer, but I have no idea which. I don't know how some of them got the driver. Its an absurd process and it doesn't actually get you to the printer's driver!Īll Macs in question are on 10.15. When you try to download it from HP, it makes you download a utility that sends you to a web page, which then makes you download ANOTHER utility from the App store, which then adds the printer using AirPrint. Where do you get the printer driver? It just showed up on some of my Macs.

Even basic stuff using Helvetica.īut if you delete the printer and re-add using the real driver, it will printer normally. This happens on all sorts of random documents no matter the font. When you add the printer using its native driver, printing works perfectly.īUT when you add the printer using AirPrint (Secure or no), when you print, you end up with lots of blank rectangles in place of characters. Printing Problems with HP PageWide Pro 477 We have an HP PageWide Pro 477 in the office. My question was that if we bought an airport express for example to allow AirPrint would this allow colour printing? I assume not given its that printers software preventing this but I thought it would be worth an ask?įailing this given that the previous thread was some time ago, is there any other solution to allow colour printing from a Mac to one of these printers? We do have some windows PC's so could we share a printer through them instead etc? I cannot seem to find the MX-PK11 add on and our printer is no longer supported (we own it and its at our risk now) as such it would appear even if we did pay the premium it then needs an authorised sharp dealer to register it for the unique code. We have a Sharp MX-2610N and linking to one of the other questions that was very helpful ' Sharp MX-2614n - 10.11 drivers - unable to print' it would seem that we have a 'crippled' sharp printer that doesn't allow Postscript Driver Printing, as such we are limping by with B&W.
