Need to download software and drivers for HP Photosmart 8050 Printer

[irronhart]

I'm trying to use my HP Photosmart 8050 Printer on a iMac computer but can't locate the driver/software disc. I've tried several times to download but can't get it to install on my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@irronhart, Welcome to HP Support Community!

Try installing the printer driver using Apple Software Update. Follow the steps below:

1.) Use the steps available here to update the software on Mac.

2.) Click the Apple menu, click System Preferences, and then click Print & Scan or Printers & Scanners.

3.) Check if your printer name displays in the Printers list, If your printer is listed, click the printer name, click the minus sign to delete the printer.

4.) If you see multiple printer queues for the same printer, remove all extra printers by selecting them one at a time, and then clicking the minus button  at the bottom of the list.

5.) Click the plus sign , click Add Printer or Scanner, click the printer name.

6.) Click the Use or Print Using menu, select the name of your printer in the pop-up menu. Then click Add.

7.) Try to print.
