Looking for HP Photosmart C4200 Drivers for macOS Sequoia. Do they exist?

[JanetQB]

I have an old HP Photosmart C4280 printer that is sitting around idle. I'm wondering if there are still HP drivers out there somewhere that I could download and re-set that printer up on my Macbook Air with macOS Sequoia. Can anyone help?

Hi @JanetQB 

(1) Connect a USB cable between Photosmart printer and computer:

(2) Then try to install the next HP Printer basic driver:

Wow! Thank you @FerRX. Worked like a charm. Can you tell me how I can now connect the printer to my wifi rather than always having to hard-wire it to my laptop? BTW, I have another printer that is connected to my wifi and I've now made it my default printer.

Hi @JanetQB 

Checking on specifications for this printer shows that only has a USB cable connection, no Wifi connection.

Thank you again @FerRX. I did notice that. Years ago when I had an Apple Airport. I used to be able to print to the HP Photosmart through that. I think it had a USB port and a special set up. I now have Sonic wifi service with some kind of router box. Perhaps there's a way to hook this HP Photosmart printer up to that. But I might have to get another device in order to do that. I'd welcome your comments.

Well, for that special setup you may need to contact Sonic Support, because I don´t know about that system, sorry 😇

Okay, thanks, and yes, I was planning on doing that. If I learn of something from Sonic that works I'll post it here.
