Mx-2314n Driver Download
Ozie Melzer
I tried downloading from different Sharp website but was never able to download a printer driver that I can work with the company's Sharp MX-2314 printer. Please advise where I can find a good driver that support this printer.
Thanks for the link but I have tried to download driver from USA, Hong Kong, and many other sites but after installing the driver, it looks like the Mac is spooling data to the printer, but it never comes out from the printer. I have tried so many times and came back with same result. One technical guy got another driver seemed to have wording Epson on it, but it works for black and white printing and not colour. How in the world that Sharp can sell printers but not supporting Mac?
I have downloaded driver from USA, UK, Hong Kong (where I found driver for IOS 10.11 as well) and installation seemed successful with version 1.3 software installed. I have setup the right IP address for the printer. I have everything done just like what I have done for any other printer I have installed plus an IP address. The driver seems to be communicating with the printer but no printing ever comes out from the printer. I travel in my professional and I have used many other printers and I never had this experience before. I understand that many other Mac users are having similar situation. Can this be addressed to Apple or should it be taken care of by Sharp?
The printer is connected to a WIFI router using a lan cable. After downloading driver and installing, I used the automatic way to add the printer as it is appearing on the list of available printer and following all the steps to finish. The printer uses an assigned IP address on the network and so that is the IP address I used for setting up the printer. After finishing, I tried to print and the "Data" light on the printer keep blinking but no printout is coming. My Macbook is definitely connected to the printer in order to make the Data light blinking, but no printout comes out. One of our technical guy get a driver from some other discussion forum and after setting up, I manage to print in black & white but not in colour. I don't know why the "Original" driver doesn't work but this "Unknown source" driver can work, although the printout is only in black & white, but at least I can print. The printer driver seems to be communicating with the printer but it is not spooling the print file to the printer or the spool file got lost somewhere, or the spool file ended up in the printer which is not recognisable by the printer and so it came out with the Data blinking light. I have also tried adding the printer starting with the IP address and finding software option and finding the Sharp MX-2314N driver from the list. This ended up the same as before. I have never come across such cases with any printers. I like HP where they provide the universal driver that works for most of their printers. Sharp may be a strange animal to Mac. Thanks for your time in this anyway because I am almost giving up with this.
First, you need to have its IP address in hand, because it must be entered manually during the setup process. The you use the [+] to start the add-a-printer process. Even if the Printer's name appears in the automatic box, do not create it there. Instead, from the three Icons at the top of that panel choose "IP".
I have done just exactly the same as you mentioned even before reading your reply but it just never worked. In the printer dialogue box, it even said communicating with printer and then finished with spooling to printer from the dialogue box, but no printout came out from the printer. I have tried every way but it just doesn't seem to work. I have never come across this in my life. I have been using computer for long time and there are many printer drivers on my Macbook Pro and I have never seen anything like this before. I have done every ways that you can think of, but it just doesn't seem to work. There is communication between the Mac and the Sharp and I heard the clicking sound on the printer. But no printout ever came out.
However, one thing that I really can't understand is that why I can setup the printer with an unknown driver from somewhere that I can print (at least in black and white) but I can't print when I setup the printer using the original Sharp printer driver that I have downloaded. Even the latest 1.3 version software specially for IOS 10.11. The printer spooling dialogue box is showing the communication with printer but it just finished there without any printout coming out from printer.
I shall stay with my unknown driver and printer black & white and don't spend any more time in trying to make it right. It will never be right! I know whoever using computer should have a logical mind but this really doesn't sound logical AT ALL!!! Thank you very much for your time, I think I am giving up on this.
All PPD files of this driver entry are available in the PostScript Printer Application Under this entry Sharp's PPD files for their PostScript printers are hosted. PostScript printers are supported natively in Linux and Unix environments, so you only need the PPD file for your printer, no driver executables, to get access to all printing functionality. The PPD contains all information about properties and user-settable options which are specific to the printer and makes printing dialogs show these options and allow the user to control all the printer's functionality. The PPDs only support the printing functionality of the printers. To use extra functionality, like scanning and faxing you will need additional drivers. See also for updated driver information for Sharp printers and multi-function devices. Note that these printers work, like all other PostScript printers, with generic PostScript PPD files, but then you will not get access to all the printer specific functionality.
Installed the TWAIN driver for the scanner "SHARP MX-2314N PCL6" and able to see the scanner name in the Capture setting list. But when trying to scan documents from the Capture Client, the following error is returned:

Hello. i am trying to setup custom folder with password when using document filing. the issue is when i print from my computer it goes to Main Folder instead of my custom folder. i checked the password, re-installing, updating the driver for MX4141N still going to wrong folder. Sometimes it goes to correct folder too. Please advise what else to check or troubleshoot. or this function from Sharp is not so reliable? Thanks.
Hi, i Sent an email already but no reply yet.
My trouble is generally Custom folder is working but occasionally some jobs go to Main folder. It is just not reliable. I did restart mfp, re created custom folder.
A previous employee printed with a secure password several months ago and is no longer here. It is just stuck there. Is there any way to delete the print job so it does not appear in the folder anymore?
I have the same issue with Sharp MX-3640N. We created a custom folder for an employee that her password was not saved correctly in the master file. I am unable to delete the user. Thank you in advance for your help.
Hi, I just want to ask how to put or set up a password code/lock on our printer here in our office (Sharp Printer MX-3114N Model) because of whenever we leave from work, other contractors are using our printer to photocopying.
Hi,
We have introduced PP Printing in our office, however there are times where there can be 5-6 documents to be printed. When we try to press select all, none of the boxes are ticked and we are forced to print one document at a time.
Is this something that can be fixed so 1 user can enter their password for multiple documents once or do we need to accept that we can only print one document at a time with PP Printing?
Thank you
I previously left a post on this issue, but having the same problem again and could not find the previous link that was sent to me. So am trying to figure out how to get rid of old locked documents on a Sharp printer # MX-3070N.
I operate a sharp printer MX- N315NV all in one printer, This printer is a shared printer over the network, usually when jobs are sent to the printer, there was printer queue such that a user goes to the printer and select his job before printing but just recently we discover d settings has been interrupted, now once a job sent to d printer its print out immediately and dis is not good for our office because most time some job are mean to be on letter head papers.
Using MX6071 printer. Most of our users are printing from Mac. Using Active Directory Kerberos and Badge Scan to authenticate. How is the best way to limit users that can print color and to set page limits for users. All users are required to authenticate to print, copy, or scan.
