Product: HP Smart Tank 520

Hello!

I need a working macOS driver for my HP Smart Tank 520 printer.

I am using a MacBook Air with macOS Sequoia 15.7.9. The printer is connected via USB and is detected by my Mac, but I cannot install it because the correct driver is missing.

I found a recommendation on this forum to install HP Tank Driver Essentials L5_1657, but the download link is no longer working.

Could someone please provide a new working download link for L5_1657 or another compatible macOS driver?

I need USB printing, not Wi-Fi.

Thank you very much!
