Mac drivers needed for HP Deskjet F4180

[StanB111]

Help!  I have  Mac OS Big Sur 11.0.1 and I need drivers for my Deskjet F4180 but can't find them.  The support page does not seem to have any drivers, just a patch which isn't enough to get it installed.  Thanks!!!!!!!

I have the same problem, and HP hotline told me some days ago that there is a solution, I hace to post my question on this forum, and a HP technicien will give us the answer with details and photos... I have no answer ... And you ? Have you found a solution ?

@StanB111, Welcome to HP Support Community!

HP Deskjet F4180 driver for macOS 11 is not available from the HP website or Apple Software Update. However, Gutenprint (formerly called Gimp-Print) provides open-source basic print drivers for many printers that would otherwise not be supported in Mac OS X. To see if your printer is supported, go to Gutenprint drivers for more information.

NOTE: Gutenprint drivers are not supported by HP or Apple.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Hello,

Thanks for this information ... but I think you had a look on the Gutenprint's list.

As me, if I see well,  you saw that my HP Deskjet F4180 is not included (just HP Deskjet 4100).

But if you proposed me to check this list, I suppose that you think about a equivalent printer in the list which would be compatible with F4180.

What do you propose concretely ? What is the solution in my context ? The HP hotline told me that there is a solution, and that a a HP technicien will give me it on the forum ?

I can't imagine that HP want I buy a new printer because I moves to Big Sur !... It would be crazy, my printer worked very well until now !

Please, HELP ! Thanks a lot ...

It is a "scandale" that HP does'nt provide driver for this printer, it is not old !!!!!!!!!!

HP hotline told that there is a solution, please give me it ....

Do you think that "HP Deskjet 4100" would be compatible, for example ? or anything else ?

Have I to put my printer in the garbage can ?

Grrrrrrrrrr .....

I'm sorry but this is not an acceptable solution. HP is being utterly unprofessional and unethical by not providing drivers for their own printers. 

I can not print anymore from any up-to-date Mac computer. Be sure that if I have to replace my printer, it will never be an HP. As a professional in IT, I'll make sure not to be buy HP products anymore.
