Hi @JonnyDog 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

 

Yes, you can connect your HP DeskJet 2820e to a MacBook Air running macOS Big Sur. The printer supports macOS 11 Big Sur and offers wireless printing via AirPrint.

 

Steps to Connect:

 

Ensure Wi-Fi is Enabled on the Printer

  • On the printer’s control panel, press the Wi-Fi button to activate wireless mode.
  • If needed, restore Wi-Fi setup mode by holding the Wi-Fi button for 5 seconds.

 

Connect to Wi-Fi Network

  • Open System Preferences → Printers & Scanners on your Mac.
  • Click Add Printer and select HP DeskJet 2820e from the list.

 

Use AirPrint for Driver-Free Printing

  • macOS Big Sur supports AirPrint, meaning you don’t need to install additional drivers.
  • If AirPrint doesn’t work, download the latest HP Smart app from the HP Support page.

 

Let me know if you need further assistance! I appreciate your patience while we work through this.
