USBserver
USBserver is a legacy utility component that was automatically installed alongside Brother printer drivers on Mac systems. This background service was designed to facilitate USB communication between Brother printers and the Mac, but it has not been updated in many years and is no longer actively maintained. The app often triggers system warnings about not being optimized for newer Macs, particularly on Apple Silicon systems. Modern Brother printer drivers have replaced this functionality with updated components, making USBserver obsolete and unnecessary for current printer operations.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionThis app is obsolete and should be removed from your system. Brother has discontinued USBserver and replaced its functionality in modern printer drivers. If you have a Brother printer, uninstall the old driver package containing USBserver and download the latest Brother printer driver from Brother's official website, which will include updated, compatible components for Apple Silicon Macs. If you no longer use a Brother printer, you can safely delete USBserver entirely from /Library/Printers/Brother/Utilities/Server/USBserver.
