My system is OS High Sierra 10.3 and i am struggling to connect my Laserjet 1606dn.

@Artjoms,

Thanks for engaging in HP support Forums! This is a wonderful location to converse with the community, get assistance and find tips! I understand you are having issues while printing from your HP LaserJet printer. Don't worry as I have a few suggestions which should help you resolve this issue.

I understand that you are having issues while connecting the LaserJet printer to the network. I will certainly do my best to help you fix the issue 🙂

Let’s first reinstall the printer using the USB cable. Follow the steps below:

Uninstall the old printer drivers first. Follow the steps mentioned here: HP Printers - Uninstalling HP Printer Software (Mac)

Now run the Apple Software Update. Check here for steps: How to update the software on your Mac

• Restart your computer and printer.
• Click the Apple menu icon, and then click “System Preferences”.
• Click “Printers and Scanner” / “Print and Scan” or “Print and Fax”.
• Right-click the blank space in the Printers list, and then click “Reset printing system”.
• Click “Reset” in the confirmation window.
• Enter an administrator username and password, and then click “OK”.
• Wait until the printing system is reset and no devices show in the Printers list

• Restart your computer and then go back to System preferences – Printers and scanners.
• Click the “Add button” (+).
• Find, and then select the name of your printer from the printer list, and then click “Add” to add your printer.
• Click “Print Using...” or “Use”, and then select Secure AirPrint or AirPrint. Alternatively, you may select the name of your printer if available in that list.

Thank you Jeet, I was actually aware of the whole procedure, but i missed the important point of restarting the computer after resetting the Printing system. Thanks for mentioning that - now i have my favorite printer working again!
