To use a printer, you must add it to your list of printers using Printers & Scanners preferences. (If you switched from using a Windows computer to a Mac, using Printers & Scanners preferences is similar to using the Printing control panel in Windows.)

Let's add a printer to your printer list so you can use it on Mac

To use a printer, you must add it to your list of printers using Printers & Scanners preferences. (If you switched from using a Windows computer to a Mac, using Printers & Scanners preferences is similar to using the Printing control panel in Windows.)
 

In most cases, when you add a printer, macOS uses AirPrint to connect to the printer or automatically downloads the printer’s software (also called a printer driver). Don’t install the software that came with the printer or from the manufacturer’s website; follow the instructions in one of the tasks below, and macOS prompts you to download the latest software if it’s needed.

For information about using a printer with an iPhone or iPad, see Use AirPrint to print from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

  1. After you start the software, you can find the printer in "System Preferences/Printers & Scanners" and add it to your system.
  2. Now you can try to print any documents on your mac, the software will save the document in the print job as a PDF file.
  3. You can easily share printer on the local network, archive documents as PDF files, and improve work efficiency.


4. (Optional Step) Finally, enter 'System Preferences/Printers&Scanners' to check if the addition has been successful

 

Print documents from your Mac

  1. With a document open on your Mac, choose File > Print, or press Command-P.

    The Print dialog opens, with a preview of your printed document. Click the arrows above the preview to scroll through the pages.

    The Print dialog shows a preview of your print job. Click the Show Details button to see more print options.

    Tip: To view a full-size preview in the Preview app, click the PDF pop-up menu, then choose Open PDF in Preview.

  1. If the settings in the Print dialog are fine as is, click Print, and you’re done. Otherwise, continue to step 3.

  2. To adjust the printing options, choose any of the following common print settings (you may need to click Show Details to see more print options):

For more detailed information about printing options, see Set printing options for paper size, paper feed, and more.

You might see different options in the Print dialog depending on your printer and the app you’re using. If these instructions differ from what you’re seeing, check the documentation for the app you’re using by clicking Help in the menu bar.

If you print a document and see unexpected margin sizes or clipped text, there may be a conflict between the margins set for your page size in the app and the nonprintable area of the page set for your selected printer. Try setting the nonprintable area for the page size to 0 (zero). For information about how to set the nonprintable area associated with a page size, see Print on unusual sized paper by creating a custom paper size.
