HP Laserjet 1005 MFP driver not available macos 15.5

[pavangupta]

Hi I am not able to find drivers for my Laserjet 1005 printer for mac os version 15. I tried the HP Smart app not working with that as well. As when choosing the generic software while adding the printer, it doesn't print. Please provide the update drivers for macOS 15 asap.

Hi @pavangupta,

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding the HP LaserJet 1005 MFP Driver for macOS 15.5!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

Try these steps:

Use Built-in Printer Drivers:

• MacOS sometimes automatically includes generic drivers or has them available through Apple's Software Update. Make sure your Mac is connected to the internet, and attempt to add your printer via “System Preferences” > “Printers & Scanners.” This may prompt the system to find and install compatible drivers.

HP Easy Start:

• HP Easy Start might be a better approach for managing HP printer installations on MacOS. Download it from the HP website and follow its guided setup to see if it can identify and configure your printer properly.

Generic PCL Driver:

• If generic options aren't functioning correctly, ensure you are selecting a PCL driver that matches your printer's capabilities. If issues persist, it may indicate incompatibility with this driver type.

Consider Third-Party Software:

• Gutenprint offers additional support for many printers, including older models which are not always supported natively by MacOS. Check if Gutenprint supports your model and try installing it.

Connectivity Options:

• Verify USB connections are secure. If the printer isn’t recognized via USB, try different cables or USB ports, as faulty hardware could lead to connectivity failures.

I hope this helps.
