TheKonica Minolta 1580mf printer is designed for homes and small businesses printing, scanning, and copying. All of these functions are easily performed with the touch of a button via the control panel. This monochrome laser printer produces professional-quality output with a very good printing speed.

The latest official release of your printer driver should be installed on your computer. This ensures that your printer is always running on its most stable support software, which means your printing device will be able to deliver its best performance consistently.


By following the instructions given in our printer driver installation guide, you will be able to install your Konica Minolta Pro 1580MF driver without making any mistake. Please read our installation guide carefully.

I work in Konica Minolta (Hong Kong) as technical support, although the website has not been updated, but we confirmed all MacOS 10.15 Catalina drivers work on Big Sur too on Mac PCs running in Intel chip, but not the new Apple M1 chip.


Any word on older printers like the 4690MF? This is our office hub. We'd even be willing to pay for the development of a Big Sur driver for this machine. I've tried generic drivers, GimpPrint, and other sorts of VooDoo, but we really need help on this one if possible.


I have a Bizhub C558 that I want to use with the new M1-Macbook Pro. After googling it looks like it has the IC-416 controller. Do you think there is a driver that will work with the C558 / IC-416? If not, how long do you think it will take until we have a working driver for the C558 / IC-416 controller?


The IC-416 is the Fiery Controller for the 8-Series, it is a Postscript driver only works on the Fiery, if you are looking for the standard controller for C558, Konica Minolta HQ has released the latest driver for both Intel and M1 chip. However, the driver is not available on the website.


oh it depends whether you have the fiery controller hardware connected to C558, you can print separately with or without fiery to the MFP. EFI has already released the latest fiery driver to support macOS Big Sur and it supports M1 chip too. Download from the EFI website.


For the magicolor 1680mf and 4690mf, HQ has stopped updating the macOS drivers, the latest drivers support up to macOS 10.14 Mojave, although you may find it works on Catalina because Apple hasn't change the printing architecture, but HQ has not update its compatibility.


Do you happen to know if the 4690MF driver is PCL or Postscript? I've found a number of generic drivers and have PCL 4, 5, 5c, 5e, and a generic color printer with CUPS and PCL. I also have the option to print to the IP address of the printer, so it asks if I want Internet Printing Protocol, HP JetDirect Socket, or LPD. Can you see what type of driver it is, and maybe that will narrow down the choices and I might get lucky!


Hello! I have a problem with the scan function of the Konica Minolta bizhub 308e we use in our office. If I try to make a preview scan using the Image Capture app the scanner fails. To do it, I have to first make a scan from the printer itself and then ask to make the preview in the app in order to make it work. After the preview, the scan works fine.


I am using Mac OS Big Sur on a MacBook Pro early 2015. I tried to update the drivers but the latest version is for Mac OS Catalina and it doesn't seem to solve the problem. Before the update, everything was working well.


The bizhub 185 appears to be a GDI printer, which probably will make it difficult to find a suitable generic driver. Typically, generic drivers are used with PCL or PostScript printers. If absolutely necessary, and unless someone else has a better idea, a virtual machine running Windows could possibly be a workaround (at least for some Mac models). bizhub 185 GDI drivers for various Windows versions are available, for example, via konicaminolta.eu .


Hey, today we have a good news for the MacOS 11 Printer Driver. The pagepro series laser printer for MacOS 11 is finally released, it supports bizhub 16/15/12P, pagepro 1590MF / 1580MF / 1550DN / 1500W. However, I'm not sure if it works on other models such as magicolor series as I do not have those discontinued model in our lab. Attached the driver on my dropbox (I'm sure it will be available on the website soon). For the M1 chip, there's a patch you need to install first. So give it a try. The Download link please add https www dropbox.com in the front.


Generic Instructions: CUPS, no spooler,PPD aware applications/clients,



Important for Windows clients: The CUPS PostScript driver for Windows has a bug which makes it choking on PPD files which contain GUI texts longer than 39 characters. Therefore it is recommended to use Adobe's PostScript driver. If you still want to use the CUPS driver, please mark "GUI texts limited to 39 characters" to get an appropriate PPD file.






This driver is available in the Ghostscript Printer Application Generic Postscript "driver". Generally, for Postscript printers, you will not need a driver, as all applications produce PostScript. For the printing system getting access to the printer-specific features the manufacturer supplies a PPD file for every PostScript printer. Use this PPD file instead of a Foomatic-generated one to get all functionality of your PostScript printer working. The files provided by Foomatic are generic files which contain only some standard options, use them only if you do not find an appropriate PPD for your printer. One can make use of all functionality which the PostScript printers have under Windows/MacOS when one uses the PPD file coming with the printer, downloaded from here on OpenPrinting, from the manufacturer's home page, or from Adobe's web site (do "unzip -L [filename].EXE" to get the PPD files). If there are several different PPD files for your printer model and none dedicated for Linux or Unix, the PPD for Windows NT works best in most cases. CUPS and PPR support PPD files directly, LPD/GNUlpr/LPRng, PDQ, CPS, and spooler-less users can set up their printers with foomatic-rip as they would set up a printer with a Foomatic PPD file. foomatic-rip works as well with manufacturer-supplied PostScript PPD files. This way all PostScript printers work perfectly under GNU/Linux or other free operating systems. Ghostscript is not needed for them. See also our PPD documentation page for instructions. See the tutorial chapter "Some Theoretical Background: CUPS, PPDs, PostScript, and Ghostscript" (PDF) for detailed information about PostScript and PPD files.
