I hope this in the right place, please move mods if required.

I’ve got an old iMac that I’ve loaded Mavericks onto and it seems to be working ok at the moment apart from printing.
I bought a Xerox mono laser about six months back and we can print to it just fine from our M1 iMac over WiFi.
Sadly the old iMac either can’t see it or the printer isn’t responding. Is this likely to just be a driver issue or will
using a printer server cure the problem. I’ve not used one before so not sure if this would work with equipment of vastly different ages. Any thoughts?

Edit: I’ve seen recently that many printers may not work when OS 28 comes out. Once again, would a printer server
get over the issue?

Edit: All sorted for the old iMac. I downloaded an old version of Bonjour Browser and that fixed it.
