Just got an HP DeskJet 4100. I installed the HP app on my iPhone and added the printer to our network. I've now installed the HP app to my M1 Mac mini (via the App Store). I can open the app just fine and log into my HP account, but each time I click the "Add Printer" button within the HP app, the app crashes.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @speterkane,
I'd like to help!
I understand the HP App crashes on your mac.
Try the below suggestions -
1. Uninstall HP App
- If installed from HP.com please delete from /Users/Username/Library/Application Support/HP App. Then delete HP App from the Applications folder and reinstall from the Mac App Store.
- If downloaded from the Mac App Store, go to app store search HP App and click on update.If the issue persists, please remove /Users/Username/Library/Containers/HP App/containers.plist and then launch HP App from the Applications folder and go through the setup again.
2.Try updating mac/ios and printer firmware
- To update the printer's firmware, refer - HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware
- To update Mac, try these steps - How to update the software on your Mac
3.Install HP App from the APP store
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
