HP LaserJet P1102 not working with new MacOS

[Brigitta444]

Hello, so I own a HP LaserJet P1102, recently bought a new MacBook Pro M2, it is currently on MacOS 15. Is there any way I can find a driver that might work with it? The Mac does recognise it the problem is that I am guessing due to lack of a driver it will not print. I do know it can be considered as an ancient product but it to this day it still works fine and I don't want to change my printer just because of the driver incompatibility. Does anyone know of a workaround to make it work? Any help is appreciated, thank you all in advance.

Try the arm64 universal driver.

Let me know what you find out as I have no experience with the 1102 or the M2 cpu

Is there an HP universal driver for my Mac which is running OAS 15.1?

My HP printer is considered expired although it works perfectly. I am ok with no warranty but hate the idea of not being able to print because of a technicality.

Hi @Brigitta444 

Try to install the next HP driver for your printer:

Hallo, I have the same problem.
Unfortunately I can't install any drivers because they are not detected by this program. All available drivers are for macos 10.xx and every time I get an error when installing.

This thread is about the 1102 printer and the ARM 64bit CPU (Apples's M2 CPU)

If you have a different printer or a CPU based on Intel or AMD then you should start a different post to get a better answer to your problems.

=====General help for old printers and MacOS=====

MacOS please read this article.

This list of HP printers can be used with MacOS 11 or under.

Download this software for those printers
https://support.apple.com/en-us/106385

If your printer is not on that list then it must be used with MacOS 12 or later.

If you have a recent HP printer it may work on older MacOS 11 or under but you need to use either USB or the AirPrint Apple setup app. HP Smart is unlikely to run on older MacOS as it is a 32-bit OS.

Hey sorry for the late reply. I tried both of the links but it does not let me to download it because it does not detect my operating system and I can only choose Windows there is no option for MacOS.

This one didn't work either, it just simply says: 

"We were not able to automatically locate any software options for this product. Please go to the HP Website and search for product solutions there."

This may or may not be helpful but I gave up and put my 1102W on Facebook Marketplace and bought ab HP MFP 4301fdw. Print quality is beautiful and it did cost me a lot out of pocket but I need to be able to print,  but so occasionally that inkjet won't work due to drying out and this is working for me on Mac OS 15.1. The scan software is working as expected, as well as printing.  I'm unhappy I had to give up on my trusty printer but I'm satisfied with what I replaced it with.

I unfortunately had the same problem as you. I solved it by buying a new printer. I guess it's a problem that can't be solved for now
