LaserJet M28A
macOS 10.14 Mojave

Hello,

 

My LaserJet M28A is not identified as a scanner on MacOS Mojave. Printing works fine. I tried updating the firmware and drivers, resetting the printer and everything listed on the official guidelines, but nothing seems to work.

 

Can anybody help me?

 

Thank you

Hi @ilnico

 

A warm welcome to HP Community! I'd like to help.

Do you have any antivirus software installed on your Mac?

Are you able to print from Mac?

Could you check and let me know if the printer is detected on the USB device tree. Here is how to check if the printer is detected on the USB device tree:

1.) From the Apple menu, choose About This Mac.  

2.) Click System Report.

3.) Under the Hardware heading on the left side of the System Information window, click USB.

System Information

USB 3 devices appear under USB 3.0 Bus, and USB 2 devices appear under USB 2.0 Bus. The printer should be under the USB 2.0 Bus, click the device names to learn more about each one.
