@sky25, Welcome to HP Support Community!

 

Follow the steps below to add the printer-

 

  1. If your printer is connected to your Mac with a cable, disconnect the cable from your Mac.
  2. Turn off your printer.
  3. Get software updates for your Mac. Your Mac automatically downloads the latest software for most printers as part of these updates
  4. Reconnect your printer to your Mac, if applicable.
  5. Turn on your printer and wait for it to finish starting up.
  6. Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click Printers & Scanners.
  7. Select your printer in the list of devices.
  8. If your printer doesn't appear in the list of devices in Printers & Scanners preferences, click +  at the bottom of the list, then choose the command to add a printer or scanner.

 

Alternatively, download and install HP Printer Drivers v5.1 for OS X from here.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
