Frank-I'm not sure what you mean. VueScan doesn't have anything directly to do with printers, unless it's a mufti-function printer with a built-in scanner. No Internet searching or downloading abilities AFAIK (I'm not at home where my Mac is). VueScan is a flexible scanner program (LOTS of settings you can tweek) that supports current scanners as well as scads of old models that are no longer supported by their manufacturers. Here's a link to the website:
