Hi friends, I'm unable to print after updating to Mac's HIgh Sierra OS. I've followed troubleshooting suggestion of deleteing and re-adding the printer. In system preferences, the printer shows a green dot and status is idle. However, when I print a job , print is "in use" but I get a message "waiting for the printer to become available"
Printer is turned on and connected to my Mac via USB.
Any help would be appreciated!

Good Day. A warm welcome to the HP community. I reviewed the case regarding assistance with the printer not working with your MacBook Pro running High Sierra. I will be delighted to assist you here.
Superb description, brilliant troubleshooting and terrific observations made before posting. Kudos to you for that. 🙂
For better clarity and to assist you better I would require more information regarding this:
- Did this happen after a software or OS update?
Reset Mac printing system and then add the printer by following these steps:
• 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. Do not select an HP Fax driver.
• 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.
