Hi @divdivdivdiv,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I understand your frustration. Let's focus on some practical steps to get your HP printer to print Word documents from your MacBook. Here's a simplified approach to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

Step-by-Step Troubleshooting

Check Printer Connection and Setup

• Ensure your printer is properly connected to your MacBook and powered on.
• Go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners and make sure your printer is listed and selected as the default printer.

Verify Printer Selection in Word

• Open Microsoft Word.
• Go to File > Print.
• Ensure your HP printer is selected in the printer drop-down menu.

Test with a Simple Document

• Create a new Word document with just a few lines of text.
• Try printing this simple document to see if it works.

Print from Another Application

• Open the Word document, go to File > Export > PDF.
• Open the PDF in Preview and try printing it from Preview.

Reset Printing System

• Go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners.
• Right-click (or Control-click) on the printer list and select Reset printing system.
• Re-add your printer by clicking the "+" button and following the prompts.

Update Printer Driver

• Visit the HP support website to download and install the latest driver for your specific printer model.

Update Microsoft Word

• Open Microsoft Word and go to Help > Check for Updates to ensure it's up to date.

Print as Image

• In the print dialog in Word, click on Print.
• Click on the Advanced button (if available), and check the option to Print as Image.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
