restoring imac manually, can't install printer driver

[andygo]

I am manually restoring a clean install of my iMac. All going well apart from the printer installation, which is 32 bit.

It used to work on Catalina even though it is a 32bit app.

How can I restore it individually from my Time Machine backups?

Just get the latest 64 bit driver from the manufacturers web site.

That was my first port of call, they don’t gave one.😂

32bit installer containing 64bit drivers perhaps? What printer? Does it even need drivers? Can it work with standard CUPS drivers?

Found the answer here:

It's from 2011, but worked a treat. In the end, I just copied the whole printers folder over from the Time Machine backup.

Thanks for your interest chaps!
