Hi @Penny1587 

Ok, nice to know that you can print now ! 😇

 

1. Now try to install full drivers using HP Easy Start:

>> https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/HP_Quick_Start/osx/HP_Easy_Start.app.zip

 

2. Also for alternative you use MacOS scan driver already installed with Image Capture app.
