Download PrinterAI
Free. About 1 MB. macOS 14 or later. Signed and notarised by Apple, so it opens with a double-click like anything else.
Installing
- Open the file you downloaded.
- Drag PrinterAI into your Applications folder.
- Open it. It looks at your printer straight away and tells you what it finds.
What it asks for
One permission: Local Network, so it can check whether your printer is switched on. Say no and everything else still works — it just can't tell you that one thing, and it says so rather than guessing.
No account. No email address. Nothing is collected.
If macOS won't open it
It shouldn't happen — the app is notarised by Apple. If it does, right-click the app and choose Open, which offers a confirmation the plain double-click doesn't.
