I bought this printer in hopes that I can print high quality images. But it will not allow me to select the "Best" print quality on any paper type. So I feel I am not getting the best quality I should be getting from this printer. Anyone know why this is happening? I have read somewhere that Best Quality isn't compatible with this printer. If I would have known that I would have never bought this one.

Welcome to HP Support Community


I would like to help

 

Please ensure your Mac and Printer have the latest updates

 

Printer Firmware: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c02919168

 

Next Remove and Re-add the printer using Airprint. AirPrint is an Apple technology that helps you create full-quality printed output without the need to download or install drivers.

 

 

1.) Click the Apple menu, click System Preferences, and then click Print & Scan or Printers & Scanners.
2.) Check if your printer name displays in the Printers list, If your printer is listed, click the printer name, click the minus sign to delete the printer.

3.) If you see multiple printer queues for the same printer, remove all extra printers by selecting them one at a time, and then clicking the minus button  at the bottom of the list.

4.) Click the plus sign , click Add Printer or Scanner, click the printer name.

5.) Click the Use or Print Using menu, select AirPrint or Secure AirPrint in the pop-up menu. Then click Add.

Select AirPrint from the Use menu

 

6.) Try to print

 

 

Let me know how it goes😊

This did not work for me. This Airprint driver is terrible. Where is the native driver for MacOS Big Sur?

HP Recommended

Aiprint is the Native Driver for Mac
