@Pat161, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

 

I understand you are not able to print from your Mac mini. To assist you better, how is the printer connected?

Check the connectivity.

If you are able to print fine from the mac, it means the printer is working fine.

 

  • Which application are you trying to print from?
  • Have you tried printing different types of documents like PDF, Word, or Webpages and check if the issue persists?
  • Use the Airprint driver to print. Refer to this document.

Keep me posted.
