SIP issues with some printer drivers

After upgrading to a new OS X users may experience issues with print drivers (which were working under previous version of OS X). This is caused by a new security feature SIP (System Integrity Protection).

A work around the drivers issue:

  1. Temporarily disable SIP to reinstall the printer driver
    Boot to Recovery OS by restarting your machine and holding down the Command and R keys at startup
    Go to Utilities menu and Launch Terminal
    In the Terminal window enter the following command:
    $ csrutil disable; reboot

    Login. Reinstalled the latest driver. Test printing.

  2. Re Enable SIP
    Boot to Recovery OS by restarting your machine and holding down the Command and R keys at startup

    Go to Utilities menu and Launch Terminal
    In the Terminal window enter the following command:
    $ csrutil enable; reboot

    Login. Test printing. Resume normal work ;)
