ahh sorry try here: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/HP_Quick_Start/osx/Installations/Essentials and just choose one of the essentials like: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/HP_Quick_Start/osx/Installations/Essentials/hp-printer-essen... that one should also have the drivers. As far as i can see this looks like a never version of the driver.

@KennethDK

I realize you are being helpful.  But there was a reason that link was sent as a PM not posted directly to the forum.

 

The FTP site is strictly a stop gap measure.  As a matter of fact that version is already out of date and does not have Mojave support.

 

Please remove the links to the FTP site from the public forum.

 

Now for the good news!

 

HP Easy Admin is now available.

 

It is a solution for Enterprise Admins that allows you to always get the latest software but does not require a connection to the printer.  You simply start typing the product name into the search field and then select the appropriate name (there must be a match for the look up to work) and directly download the Essentials Software.

 

You cen get it here.  Admins please give it a try.

 

 

 

While I may work for HP Inc, the views and opinions expressed here are my own.

How is this marked as a solution? its only a solution for the person you private messaged, what about the rest of us? Can I please have the drivers too? We are buying 100+ of these printers and I need to support our mac folk.

Solutions are marked by users.  Not myself or admins.  But I will see if we can get that changed.

 

The real answer is HP Easy Admin.
