CUPSDriver
CUPSDriver is a print driver component for Lexmark printers distributed on macOS. It integrates with the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS), which is the native macOS print architecture, to enable communication between the operating system and Lexmark printer hardware. Users rely on it to print documents from any application to a connected or networked Lexmark printer. The driver handles print job formatting, colour management, paper-size negotiation and other low-level printer control functions that applications delegate to CUPS.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionCUPSDriver is a system-level print driver component, not a standalone application, so it is not updated separately. It is typically bundled with and updated by the Lexmark printer driver package — the full installer available from Lexmark's support site. If you have a Lexmark printer, visit Lexmark's support page, enter your printer model, download the latest macOS driver package for your Mac's architecture (Apple Silicon or Intel), and run the installer. This will ensure both the main driver and any dependent CUPS components are updated to the versions your printer needs. If the search results or Lexmark's site do not yet list a native Apple Silicon build for your specific printer model, contact Lexmark support or check back periodically — many printer vendors are rolling out native drivers but the timeline varies by model. With roughly 28 months until Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), there is time for Lexmark to ship an update, but it is worth checking sooner rather than later if you rely on this printer regularly.
