Hi! 

I have a Mac, I got a Hp advantage 2374 printer for home as a secondary printer... (regret)

I formatted my computer and now there is no way I can find the drivers to make the printer work. Tried with HP Easy Start (sends me to hp web page), HP smart (only recognizes wifi printers, and the Hp advantage 2374 has NO connection to wif), also tried with the generic printer setup but info is not being send to printer (still not working) 

I need to print... not just a Copy machine :S 

PLEASE I need a way to have access to the driver.  

(pretty sad on my choice when buying it)
