Install (same package for every model)
- Plug the printer into the Mac with a USB cable and switch it on.
- Download the installer (.pkg) and open it. Click through, enter your Mac password. It is signed and notarized by Apple, so there are no security warnings.
- Print something. The installer recognised the printer and set it up as the default.
Still not printing? Restart the Mac once and unplug / re-plug the printer. Then see below.
Printer not set up automatically?
USB printers are normally detected by the installer. If yours wasn't (or it's on Wi-Fi), find it below, open Terminal (⌘+Space, type Terminal), paste its command and press Enter.
