Product: HP Smart Tank 520 All-in-One Printer

I have an HP Smart Tank 520 USB-only printer and a MacBook Pro M1 running macOS Tahoe 26.6.2

The printer is detected over USB, but there is no compatible macOS driver available. 

HP Community moderators repeatedly recommend HP Smart Tank Driver Essentials – L5_1657 for this exact issue.

Could you please provide the current download link for L5_1657, or email me the installer?
