Hi,

What do you mean by a button?

 

You should install the HP Essential software for your printer by following HP Easy Start if this wasn't done yet:

Please follow below version of HP Easy Start, as soon as it launches open the top HP Easy Start menu and select Uninstall HP Software.

Follow the steps on screen and then click on Set Up New Device and follow the steps to reinstall the printer:

If you experience further issues, please clarify with some more details, what exact steps are taken and what exact response you get.

I have not downloaded anything at all yet. What I am looking for is very clear instructions to install the HP Laserjet Pro M15w for USB CONNECTION ONLY and what then to press to start printing. I would not engage in anything that would require me to spend unlimited days in seeking an answer to print. I am sad that my Brother printer with USB cable is no longer.

I am stunned that you almost need to be a rocket spaceman to set up this thing. It is only a printer! Can you help?

Hi,

For a USB connection, you should install the printer using HP Easy Start by following the steps I already included in my previous post:

 

First, make sure the printer is powered on and connected to your Mac with a USB

Next, follow below version of HP Easy Start, as soon as it launches open the top HP Easy Start menu and select Uninstall HP Software.

Follow the steps on screen and then click on Set Up New Device and follow the steps to reinstall the printer:

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/HP_Quick_Start/osx/Applications/HP_Easy_Start.app.zip

 

Once completing the installation you should be able to print to the printer.

 

To start printing you would need to access the print dialog from the used application, not differently than any other printer, you shouldn't press any button on the printer itself to print, only on the computer.

Do you mean to start printing you would need to start printing from Easy Start i.e. "the used application" you mention?

HP Recommended

No,

You should follow HP Easy Start first to install the printer driver, after following the steps and completing the installation the printer will ne listed for your computer.

 

After following it and completing the installation, open the file you would like to printer, click in File > Print and make sure the HP printer is selected.

Sorry, where do I look to see the printer on my computer?

With Brother the printer was listed in printers as default. I have deleted Brother. Do you mean the HP Laserjet Pro M15w will be listed there?

HP Recommended

No answers to my latest questioin. No listing my latest question which I laboriously tyoed. Are you there?

HP Recommended

Help Shlomil please. My question disappears. 

To print?

HP Recommended

Indeed, a printer is a printer and it shown the same, it doesn't matter of which manufacturer
