Lexmark Scanner
Lexmark Scanner is the official scanner driver and control software from Lexmark for using Lexmark multifunction printers and standalone scanners on macOS. It provides document and photo scanning, driver integration with the scanner hardware, and basic image adjustment tools. Like most printer manufacturer scanner software, Lexmark has historically discontinued driver support when new versions of macOS arrive, leaving users of older scanners without an official way to use their hardware.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionLexmark Scanner is Intel-only and Lexmark appears to have discontinued active development for this macOS version, offering no native Apple Silicon build. Lexmark typically stops releasing scanner drivers when new macOS versions ship, which is a common industry practice. Rather than waiting for a Lexmark update that may never come, the best path forward is to replace Lexmark Scanner with VueScan, a third-party scanning application that actively maintains native Apple Silicon support and includes built-in drivers for Lexmark scanners. VueScan reverse-engineers support for older scanner models (including Lexmark) so they continue to work even when manufacturers abandon them. VueScan is regularly updated and runs natively on Apple Silicon Macs, so it will continue working when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). VueScan is available as both a free trial and a paid Pro version with advanced features.
