(Using Printers & Scanners settings is analogous to using the Printing control panel in Windows if you migrated from a Windows PC to a Mac.) When you install a printer, macOS usually connects to it through AirPrint or downloads the printer's software automatically (also called a printer driver). Follow the instructions in one of the tasks below, and macOS will prompt you to download the latest software if it's needed.

To see if your printer is nearby, go to File > Print, click the Printer pop-up menu, select Nearby Printers or Printers & Scanners, and then select your printer. You can add your printer if it isn't already there.

You don't need to check for software updates if you have an AirPrint printer.
