A warm welcome to HP Community!

Most of the HP printers uses driverless technologies such as AirPrint or IPP, which don't require additional drivers on your Mac. HP ENVY 4527 printer is AirPrint compatible, if the printer is connected to your home WiFi, then you can setup the printer with Apple AirPrint rather than using HP Easy Start application.

Here is how to do it:

1.) Click the Apple menu, click System Preferences, and then click Print & Scan or Printers & Scanners.

2.) Check if your printer name displays in the Printers list, If your printer is listed, click the printer name, click the minus sign to delete the printer.

3.) If you see multiple printer queues for the same printer, remove all extra printers by selecting them one at a time, and then clicking the minus button  at the bottom of the list.

4.) Click the plus sign , click Add Printer or Scanner, click the printer name.

5.) Click the Use or Print Using menu, select AirPrint or Secure AirPrint in the pop-up menu. Then click Add.

6.) Try to print.

If you would like to use the HP printer essential software, then you may download and install HP Easy Scan and HP Utility from the links below:
