I received this message that the HP Click software will no longer be supported because it is an Intel-based application and not an Apple silicon one. Are there any plans to release an updated version? I would expect that by now there would be, considering Apple silicon has been around for over 5 years now.

Any news on this?  Our poster printer service at work is all Macs and this is the app that we use to print to the large format printer.  Please update this app.

I've seen some posts for how the HP Click download for MacOS has disappeared from HP's website.  It's still there, but you have to hunt for it.

 

Step 1: Search the web for "HP Click" and click the link on HP's website: HP Click printing software

Step 2: Select ANY version of WINDOWS and then submit the form

Step 3: Near the top where it shows the Selected operating system, select the Choose a different OS  link

Step 4: Change to MacOS and update the form

 

Ta Da! This is where you'll find the current MacOS disk image for download.

But it still requires Rosetta to run, which is being discontinued. It's not that they don't have a Mac version, it's that it's built on an architecture that will soon be obsolete.

Which effectively means that there will no longer be a Mac version when that occurs.  Thankfully, Apple is giving us one more year.  Then, we'll have to hold some devices back from upgrade to macOS 28.

 

C'mon HP!  You've got a year to get your stuff together!

The new update released this month has now made the HP Click software on MacOS almost unusable due to CPU usage. What a joke to STILL not have a native Apple Silicon version!

Subject: Discontinuing HP Click for Apple Silicon: a long-time DesignJet owner asking you to reconsider

 

To the HP DesignJet / Large Format team,

 

I am a DesignJet T730 owner and a multi-year HP Click user, and I am writing to object to how HP Click is being allowed to die on macOS.

 

HP Click was never rebuilt for Apple Silicon. It runs only under Rosetta 2, which Apple is now removing in macOS Tahoe, so on current Macs the app crashes as soon as it loads a file. On top of that, the Mac download has become nearly impossible to find, surfacing only if I manually switch the OS selector in Chrome. For a tool this useful, that combination feels like a quiet retirement rather than support.

 

The practical cost is real. HP Click handled autorotation and nesting, placing a job on the roll to minimize waste. Apple's native driver for the T730 does not expose those controls, so a standard 24 by 36 poster now prints with roughly a foot of unused roll beside it that I have to trim by hand, wasting both media and time on every print. Click solved this years ago. Removing it without an equivalent is a step backward for every Mac-based DesignJet customer.

 

My ask is specific:

 

  1. Commit to a universal (Apple Silicon) build of HP Click, or
  2. Build Click's roll-optimization, autorotate and nesting, into the supported macOS printing workflow for DesignJet, and
  3. In the meantime, keep the Mac download clearly discoverable and publish a roadmap so customers know what to expect.

I want to keep buying and recommending DesignJet hardware. Please tell me what HP intends to do here, and whether an Apple Silicon path for Click is on the table.

 

Thank you,
DesignJet T730 owner
