If you&#8217;re having a printer\/scanner-related problem with Sierra, you may be able to fix the issue yourself, using one or more of these methods.<\/p>\n<p>Some all-in-one printer\/scanners that have network options are having problems being able to scan or print using the network. In many cases, if you connect the device to your Mac directly (USB), both printing and scanning will function correctly.<\/p>\n<p>If you need to share the printer\/scanner with others on your network, you can make use of the sharing function available in System Preferences, Printers &amp; Scanners.<\/p>\n<p>The long-term fix is to regularly check the manufacturer&#8217;s website for upgraded drivers, as well as updating to the most current version of macOS.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Printers Disappearing<\/strong><br \/>\nSome Mac users have reported that after upgrading to Sierra, their printers are no longer listed as installed. This remains a problem even after cycling the power on the printers, disconnecting and reconnecting USB printers, and restarting the Mac.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_38515\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38515\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ResetPrintingSystem1280.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-38515\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ResetPrintingSystem1280.jpg\" alt=\"(Resetting the printing system lets you start with a clean slate.)\" width=\"640\" height=\"419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ResetPrintingSystem1280.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ResetPrintingSystem1280-184x120.jpg 184w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ResetPrintingSystem1280-284x186.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ResetPrintingSystem1280-190x124.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ResetPrintingSystem1280-100x65.jpg 100w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ResetPrintingSystem1280-184x120@2x.jpg 368w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ResetPrintingSystem1280-284x186@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ResetPrintingSystem1280-190x124@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-38515\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>(Resetting the printing system lets you start with a clean slate.)<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The simple solution is to reinstall the printers using the Printers &amp; Scanners preference pane. But before you do, you may want to reset the macOS printer sub-system. Resetting the printing system will clear out old printing queues, delete existing printer plist files, and reset printing options to their defaults.<\/p>\n<p>This lets you start fresh, and why not? The printers are missing, so take the opportunity to clean things out.<\/p>\n<p>Open the Printers &amp; Scanners preference pane.<\/p>\n<p>Place your cursor in the empty list of printers.<\/p>\n<p>Right-click and select &#8216;Reset printing system.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll be warned that resetting the printing system will remove all printers and scanners. Click the Reset button.<\/p>\n<p>Once the reset is complete, go ahead and add your printers and scanners back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>File Save Workflow<\/strong><br \/>\nOne of the workflows we use quite often takes advantage of how the Save or Save As dialog box works in most apps that allow you to populate the file name field by selecting a file already present at the destination. This is a very easy way to either replace an existing file, or use an existing file name as the base for a new file name.

The document you&#8217;re working on is called MyDocument, but when you save it to the external drive, you want it to have a version number as well. Instead of having to remember the current version number, you can simply use the Save As command to open the Save As dialog box, browse to the external drive you use, and then click on the most recent document file already present in the folder. The document name you click on automatically populates the Save As field, letting you simply increase the current version number by one, and save the document.<\/p>\n<p>In macOS Sierra, this common workflow no longer works if you&#8217;re using icon view in the Save As dialog box. The fix is simple enough; in the dialog box, select the list or column view option before you click on the file name.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can&#8217;t Open the JAR<\/strong><br \/>\nJava developers and game aficionados are used to working with .jar files, an archive format used to store and compress Java class files and metadata. Gamers who like to create mods often find the game maps stored in JAR archives, and developers use JAR archives for quite a few things.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_38517\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38517\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ArchiveUtility1280.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-38517\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ArchiveUtility1280.jpg\" alt=\"(To expand JAR files, you need to use the Open With option and select the Archive Utility.)\" width=\"640\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ArchiveUtility1280.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ArchiveUtility1280-181x120.jpg 181w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ArchiveUtility1280-284x188.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ArchiveUtility1280-190x126.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ArchiveUtility1280-100x65.jpg 100w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ArchiveUtility1280-181x120@2x.jpg 362w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ArchiveUtility1280-284x188@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ArchiveUtility1280-190x126@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-38517\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>(To expand JAR files, you need to use the Open With option and select the Archive Utility.)<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>JAR archives may seem quite foreign to many Mac users, but at heart, they&#8217;re quite similar to the zip files we all commonly use, so much so that in past versions of the Mac OS, you could open JAR files with Apple&#8217;s own built-in archiving utility. In many cases, you only needed to double-click a .jar file to expand it.<\/p>\n<p>Some Sierra users have reported that they&#8217;re no longer able to expand .jar files. This is likely because the default association for .jar files is to open them with the JAR Launcher, a utility for launching Java JAR files into the appropriate runtime environment.<\/p>\n<p>If you only need to expand a .jar file, you can perform this task by either right-clicking the .jar file and selecting Open With&gt; Archive Utility from the dropdown menu, or renaming the .jar file to .zip, and then double-clicking the newly named archived file to expand it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Else Is Broken in macOS Sierra?<\/strong><br \/>\nWe found a few additional broken bits in Sierra, but decided they weren&#8217;t as likely to show up for most users.
