Printer compatibility for M2 MacBook Air running Golden Gate 27

I need to find a printer. I have an M2 MacBook Air with the Golden Gate 27 operating system. Is there a printer that supports this operating system?

Any printer that supports AirPrint will be fine. Most printers today do in fact support AirPrint. If you already have a printer and it stopped working with macOS 27 Golden Gate maybe we can help with a solution. What printer do you have right now?

Many people solved that problem by simply reinstalling Rosetta 2 that allows Intel code based software to continue working. You probably got rid of a perfectly good printer. Both my HP LaserJet and Epson WF-2860 work just fine with Golden Gate with Rosetta 2 installed. But whatever.

If you want a quick recommendation buy a Brother monochrome laser printer. Very approximately $100. But whatever you have now could be made to work too. We need to know its exact model designation.

We do not know all your printing needs such as:

  • Paper sizes
  • Card stock
  • Paper feed location
  • Paper quantities
  • Connectivity to networks and other devices
  • Cartridge availability and refill programs
  • Copy support
  • ...

Search for a printer that meets your printing needs then check with the manufacturer to ensure it is compatible with your Mac.
