Hey,

I tried using the Printer on two different Mac Books  with operating System 11.6 and 12.1 respectively.

The printer is found by both computers, on the mac os 11.6 i can install a driver which said is working till OS 12, but it does not print. I also checked using HP Smart but it does not find the computer by usb, where the computer is finding it.

On  the other Mac with OS 12.1 the computer finds the printer, but the driver is not installable.

 

Help is appreciated.

Thank you very much,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

If those drivers are not working, try these:

 

Gutenprint (formerly called Gimp-Print) provides open-source basic print drivers for many printers that would otherwise not be supported in Mac OS X. To see if your printer is supported, go to Gutenprint drivers for more information.

 

NOTE: Gutenprint drivers are not supported by HP or Apple.

 

Keep me posted for further assistance.

I managed to print now on the older mac, with Mac OS 11. 

But on the newer it still does not work and Gutenprint does not have the driver for Mac OS 12.

I recommend you to contact the HP Support Team regarding this as they can remotely access your MAC and help you with this.

Let me know if this helps.
