[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1930093, member: 204485"] Sadly it's pretty normal to have printer issues after a major update of macOS. This is more often an problem caused by printer manufacturers not keeping their printer drivers up to date with current operating systems. As for Mac Fans Control (MFC), I have used this handy utility for many years and devices to [I]increase[/I] fan speed at [I]lower[/I] temps rather than the opposite. Of course fans will wear out, they are just little electric motors in a plastic housing with nylon bearings and over time they do a [B]lot[/B] of revolutions. I think I would have tried resetting the Systems Management Controller (SMC) first before trying MFC, you might find that running it on Automatic rather than a Custom setting works just as well; [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.lifewire.com/reset-smc-system-management-controller-on-mac-2260840[/URL] [/QUOTE]
