The "Generic PCL 6 LF Printer wide margin" might work for you. It may not have all the features of the Sharp driver. Someone else may know if one of the other Sharp printers Gutenprint lists might work better. Gutenprint only supports the printer function of multifunctional devices.  For the copier part of the printer, you could try Apple's Image Capture application included with the operating system.  There are several third party scanner applications (they cost money).  I like and use VueScan.  Not an endorsement, just a happy customer.

Let us know if the Generic PCL LF Printer driver works for you. If it works, we will probably add the printer to the list of printer Gutenprint supports.
