Driver of HP LaserJet 100 colorMFP M175nw

[caseyvan]

Our LaserJet 100 colorMFP M175nw didn't work due to us changing wifi password. Tried to find a setting on the ridiculously faint and small printer screen with printer settings. After an hour or so I still didn't understand how to get the printer on the same network as my iMac again. I decided to delete the drivers and install them again. Should be easy. Had worked before. 

Turns out the driver can no longer be downloaded from HP. HP's driver file for Mountain Lion no longer works on new Macs (HP_Mountain_Lion_LJ_SW_v12-1.23.26.dmg).

Anybody has any clue what to do now?

@caseyvan, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

I understand you are not able to download and install the printer driver. To assist you better, are you using a macOS 11 or macOS 10.8(mountain lion)?

Click here to download the driver for macOS 10.8 from the HP Support site. 

There is no driver available for macOS 11

To know how to connect the printer to the network, refer to - Connecting an HP Printer Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

Also, this model printer is Airprint compatible. You may install the printer using AirPrint driver
