So I can scan and print from my MacBook Pro. But when I press Scan on the Printer and then press PC, I get an error message that software needs to be installed. I have installed as much software as I can find for my printer from the HP website. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I don't know if it matters but I am using Air Print to connect to my printer.

 

Thanks and all the best,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

Ensure that the printer is up to date with its firmware and Mac is up to date with its software. If you are unsure you may use the links below to update the printer firmware and Mac software:

 

Update printer firmware

Update software on Mac 

 

Let me know if this helps.
