@minikitty, Welcome to HP Support Community!

To be able to assist you better, I'd like to know the following-

1.) Is there any antivirus software installed on your Mac? If yes, please try disabling it and check if it works.

2.) Are you using a USB hub?

Meanwhile, follow the steps below-

1.) Go to System Information to check if the USB is detected or not -

a.) From the Apple menu, choose About This Mac.

b.) Click System Report.

c.) Under the Hardware heading on the left side of the System Information window, click USB. USB 3 devices appear under USB 3.0 Bus, and USB 2 devices appear under USB 2.0 Bus. The printer should be under the USB 2.0 Bus.

2.) Try a different port and cable if not detected.

Keep me posted for further assistance.
