When macOS drops your printer's driver, PrintCast Driver brings the printer back. When your iPhone can't see a printer, PrintCast Bridge shares it.
Each of these is what happens when macOS drops a printer driver. PrintCast Driver puts a driver back.

"My printer works on my Mac, but my iPhone can't see it."
Bridge connects iOS to any printer your Mac can reach: USB, network, or shared.
Bridge lets your iPhone and iPad print to printers that don't support AirPrint. Your Mac acts as a middleman. Driver restores printer functionality on your Mac itself, replacing vendor drivers that Apple has been removing from recent macOS releases.
Most people only need one. If your printer works fine on your Mac but your iPhone can't see it, you need Bridge. If your printer stopped working after a macOS update, you need Driver.
Bridge works with any printer your Mac can print to: USB, network, or shared. Driver supports printers that use PCL5, PostScript, or a PostScript-compatible language, from major brands including Canon, Epson, Brother, HP, Kyocera, Lexmark, and Samsung.

Not your print jobs: they go from your Mac straight to your printer and never pass through our servers or any cloud service. The apps do send some information to our service, for example to check your license; our Privacy Policy explains what they send and when.
