The printer is connected by a USB cable provided by hp

I have followed the link provided by hp staff and started loading the file which is 5.l dmg Though the file size is 574 MB the down load showed 600 and sometimes it stops which means I have to reload and that takes a lot of time. I am not aware whether this is the only driver or there are many more

There is no error message but after download I am unable to proceed further for installation as there is no hyper link on the file

I have not installed any antivirus software so far. The lap top is just a month old and I am yet to put it to full use
