The Kyocera Mita Installer is software that installs drivers for Kyocera printers, making it easier to set up and use the devices. With this software, users can quickly and easily connect and configure their Kyocera printers.
The Mac OS X 10.5 software update was a major release, including a new printing architecture that affected the installation process. To properly install a printer with this update, a new printer driver installer is required.
Mac OS X 10.5 comes with AppleTalk disabled by default, which is necessary to discover your Kyocera printer. If you attempt to use the Kyocera installer, you will be prompted to enable AppleTalk before installation can proceed.
Printer Setup Utility has been removed from Mac OS X 10.5, so to install a printer, open System Preferences and click Print & Fax. Manually installing a printer or changing a PPD for an installed printer may result in both Linux and Mac OS X PPDs being listed for some older Kyocera models. When identifying Linux PPDs in PPD filenames, search for the word Gutenprint.
This software update supports a variety of Kyocera printers, including the KM-1650, KM-1815, KM-1820, KM-2050, and many more. For supported printers such as the FS-820, FS-920, FS-1016MFP, FS-1018MFP, and FS-1020D, there are more options. The update supports up to FS-C8100DN or later model printers.
In summary, Mac OS X 10.5's new printing architecture introduced changes to printer installation that require a new printer driver installer. Users must enable AppleTalk to discover their Kyocera printer, and Printer Setup Utility has been removed from the software. Linux and Mac OS X PPDs may both be listed for older Kyocera models, and the software update supports a variety of newer Kyocera printers and many more.
