Hello Gary1810,

Thank you for posting your concern,

For installing drivers on macOS for specific HP printer models like the Color LaserJet Pro MF283fdw, it is generally advised to use the HP Smart application. Here’s how you can attempt to install the driver:

1. Visit the HP Support Website:

   • Go to HP Support.

2. Search for Your Printer Model:

   • Enter "Color LaserJet Pro MF283fdw" in the search bar.

3. Driver and Software Section:

   • Open the 'Software and Drivers' section and ensure your operating system is set correctly to your version of macOS.

4. Download HP Smart:

   • If a specific macOS driver is unavailable directly, it often helps to use the HP Smart application.
   • You can download HP Smart from 123.hp.com or the Mac App Store.
   • Once downloaded, follow the setup instructions within HP Smart to detect and connect your printer.

5. Utilize Apple Updates:

   • Ensure your macOS is up to date, as Apple often includes printer drivers in their system updates. Try with inbuilt, Airprint driver.

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, contact HP support for more detailed assistance, as they can provide guidance specific to your printer and macOS version.
