[solved] cant install the software for the series because it is not currently available from the software update server

You try to install a printer on a Mac and it pops out the error:

cant install the software for the <Printer make and model> series because it is not currently available from the software update server

To resolve this issue: open print and scan under preferences

right click on the empty space in the printer list and select Reset Printing System

Try to add the printer again, proceed to the next step if it fails

Open /Library/Printers/ and delete it <printer brand name> folder.

Try to ad the printer again

I had this issue with Brother printer and was resolved by following the steps mentioned above.
