Laserjet P1102w
macOS 10.14 Mojave

The subject says is all.  I used this printer on previous OSes. It was not connected to my network after I moved.  Now I am trying to connect it with a new laptop and I'm told there is not a driver for my OS.  Will P1102w work with OS 10.14?

@Lynsun, Welcome to HP Support Community!

 

Install the printer using Apple Software Update. Follow the steps below:

 

To install the HP driver through Apple Software Update, create a new print queue on the Mac.

  1. Click the Apple menu, then click System Preferences.

  2. Depending on your operating system version, click Print & Fax, Print & Scan, or Printers & Scanners.

     Example of the Printers & Scanners window

  3. Check if the name of your printer displays in the Printers list. Do one of the following steps, depending on if the printer is listed or not.

    • If your printer is listed, remove and re-add the printer to confirm communication and to make sure the correct driver is used. Click the name of your printer, then click the minus sign  to delete the printer. Once the printer is removed, click the plus sign , click Add Printer or Scanner, click the name of your printer, then continue to the next step.

    • If your printer is not listed, click the plus sign, click Add Printer or Scanner, click the name of your printer, then continue to the next step.

    • If your printer is not listed in the Add Printer or Scanner window, make sure the printer is connected to the Mac with a USB cable, or that it is on the same wired or wireless network as your Mac. 

  4. Click the Use or Print Using menu, then select the name of your printer.

    NOTE: 

    Selecting a Generic driver option from the Use menu can result in limited printer functionality.

    Select the name of your printer in the Use menu

  5. Click Add to add the printer to the list.

  6. Close the System Preferences window.

  7. Try to print, scan, or fax, depending on your printer functionality.

Refer to this document HP Printers - Installing a Mac Print Driver Using Apple Software Update for additional help.

 

Hope this helps.
