September 30, 2018: Add Mac OS 10.14 Mojave drivers section If you find a printer that supports Mac OS X not listed here, please e-mail me from my guestbook page. Note, this list is by no means comprehensive. This page has direct links to many of the printer vendors Mac OS X information page, as well as solutions to changes in the Mac OS X operating system that aren't supported by the printer vendors, yet supported by open source programmers. Lastly, other issues with 10.11 over prior operating systems are covered on my Upgrade FAQ. Unfortunately as long as printer and scanner developers fail to supply Apple with updates, you may or may not be in for a rude awakening trying to use your peripheral with El Capitan. Others have found going as far back as 10.9's scanner driver to help their Canon MP630. So always check both Apple and the manufacturer for updated drivers even if it is not available from Apple, and install its latest driver. As also mentioned in the thread, under some circumstances, you can download the driver from the manufacturer which is stated to be 10.11 compatible and install it from there, even if the driver is not newer than El Capitan's release. As I had just upgraded to 10.11.3, I went to check if it had been fixed and now the document feeder reappears in Image Capture. As it happens I also joined Apple's bugreporter program and they informed me it was fixed with 10.11.2. I have started an Apple Support Communities thread to discuss this issue. In those instances, you can use the drivers that are old. When you Option click Add driver in Apple menu ->System Preferences -> Printers and Scanners to add drivers, you will sometimes get the printer or scanner that already is plugged in as a driver. ![]() The scanner though will not appear on Image Capture anymore, and you have to download the Canon IJ drivers separately on 10.11 and 10.11.1, though this does not support the Automatic Document Feeder. Downloading it direct from there, and it works. Its driver was from February 2015, and yet, labelled on Canon's website as El Capitan compatible. Such was the case with the Canon Pixma MX922. If they have, you may have to download the driver directly from the manufacturer. They may have already tested the software with El Capitan. Check with the manufacturer for your individual printer driver to see if they have a download for El Capitan, even if the download below was dated before El Capitan. September 30, 2015, 10.11 was released, and older drivers may not work with it. I've indicated the latest release date of drivers that I could find. Janufixes two more printer driver links on Apple's download page to support El Capitan. Printer and scanner updates for Mojave posted.

I discovered these drivers upon which I happily got rid of those old pieces of junk and feel quite certain that I will never have to revisit this nonsense ever again.Download my résumé as a Word compressed zip file and Adobe Acrobat. Out of sheer frustration, I came SOOOOO close today to scrapping my whole updated system in favor of reverting to my OSX 10.5.6 (of which I had absolutely no issues printing at all once I spent a few days finagling and coercing it to work from the previous update) system backup because this time around I just could not get them to work in OSX 10.5.7. In these tough economic times (in case anyone has forgotten), WHY in tarnation should I have to run out and buy a new printer when mine works perfectly fine if/when/ever the system drivers will operate correctly. I grew SOOOOO dag gone sick and tired of having to finagle and coerce the system drivers to work each and every time I updated to the newest version of OSX 10.5 (10.5.7 this time around). I still own/use a very reliable Epson Printer I bought brand new in 1997.
