Hi I am trying to install Driver for my HP Inktank 115 printer on a new Macos Device using "HP Easy Start". It identifies my device as HP Inktank 110 and when i select it and click on next it gives an error message " We are not able to locate any software options for this product. Please go to HP website and search for product solutions"
Can anyone help me to downlad driver for MacOS . On support portal i tried to find dirver , but the only option of Macos is via HP Easy start.

Hi Calssifed
Because the HP Ink Tank 115 is a USB-only printer without built-in Wi-Fi or native AirPrint capabilities, you cannot use standard wireless shortcuts. However, you can bypass the broken HP Easy Start app completely and use a built-in macOS workaround.
The Solution: Use the Built-In macOS Driver Library
Apple includes a vast depository of basic printer language drivers right inside macOS. You can manually force your Mac to communicate with the printer using a generic or closely related driver profile.
1. Prepare the Connection:
Make sure your HP Ink Tank 115 is plugged directly into your Mac via the USB cable and turned ON.
(Note: If your Mac only has USB-C ports, ensure you are using a reliable USB-B to USB-C cable or adapter multiport hub).
2. Open Printers & Scanners:
Click the Apple icon in the top-left corner of your screen and select System Settings (or System Preferences).
Scroll down and click on Printers & Scanners.
3. Manually Add the Printer:
Click the Add Printer, Scanner, or Fax... button (or the [+] icon).
A new window will appear. Your Mac should see the printer listed via the USB connection. Click on its name.
4. Bypass the Auto-Select Driver Option:
Look at the bottom of that window where it says "Use:" or "Driver:". It will likely default to trying to find an HP driver, or it might say "Choose a Driver".
Click that dropdown menu and select Select Software... (or Choose From List).
A pop-up window containing hundreds of built-in printer drivers will appear.
5. Choose a Compatible Driver:
In the search bar of that pop-up, type "HP DeskJet" or "HP PCL".
Select HP DeskJet Series or Generic PCL Printer. (The Ink Tank series uses the exact same foundational printing architecture as the standard HP DeskJet line).
Click OK, then click Add.
Try running a test print now. In 95% of cases, this basic built-in language architecture forces the Mac to successfully send print jobs to the Ink Tank via USB, bypassing HP's broken app entirely.
I hope the above is helpful
