These steps may help if you tried to print from your Mac, but your printer doesn't appear in the Printer pop-up menu, or your Mac displays a message that software for your printer isn't available.

Make sure that your printer is ready to print. Check it for paper and other supplies, and resolve any error lights or error messages. Check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer if you need help with an error.
If your printer is connected to the USB port of your Mac, disconnect the printer.
Your Mac downloads software for most printers automatically, so it's usually unnecessary to install software from the printer manufacturer. Always check for updates to make sure that your Mac has the latest information about the printer.
If your printer isn't connected to your wired network, Wi-Fi network, or the USB port of your Mac, reconnect it now.
Open an item that you want to print, then choose Print from the File menu.
Choose your printer from the Printer pop-up menu, which lists printers that are nearby or connected directly to your Mac. You may need to wait a moment for the printer to appear in the menu. If your printer doesn't appear, choose Add Printer from the same menu.
