Change a printer driver of an already configured printer
Is there a way that you can set the printer driver for a printer that is already installed (other than deleting it an reinstalling). When you install a new printer you get an option to set which print driver it uses (see image below). But i cant seem to edit this once created.
This feature was removed in OS X 10.8. You have to use the CUPS interface by running cupsctl WebInterface=yes
from Terminal and then pointing a Web browser to http://localhost:631. From there:
- Open the Printers tab.
- Select your printer and select Modify Printer from the second drop-down menu. (You’ll have to provide your OS credentials.)
- Select your printer and click Continue twice.
- Select a different driver or choose an appropriate PPD file.
- Click Modify Printer.
