No. I’d buy an Epson. Review date: 2025. Tested on macOS Sonoma 14.4 and Ventura 13.6 with a generic POS-58 (V3.0 board, ESC/POS compatible).
Note: "POS 58" usually refers to a 58mm thermal receipt printer (common brands: Epson, Xprinter, Bixolon, Star Micronics). Since macOS does not include generic POS drivers, this review focuses on the real-world experience of getting such a printer working on a Mac. Overall Rating: ⭐⭐☆☆☆ (2/5 – Works only if you have the exact right model and a lot of time ) Introduction: The Mac-POS Nightmare Let’s be honest: POS (Point of Sale) 58mm thermal printers are built for Windows and Linux. macOS treats them like forgotten stepchildren. After spending over six hours trying to get a generic "POS-58" (sold under names like Munbyn, iDPRT, or no-name Chinese brands) to work with my MacBook Pro (macOS Sonoma 14.5), I feel qualified to write the definitive review on the driver download process . Spoiler: It’s not for the faint of heart. Phase 1: Finding the Actual Driver – The Hunt Begins The Problem: Most POS-58 printers do not ship with a macOS driver CD. The tiny USB stick included often has Windows .exe files only. The manufacturer’s website? Usually a labyrinth of broken links. pos 58 printer driver download for mac
