Hi @John16827,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

To connect your iMac running macOS 10.15 (Catalina) to the HP OfficeJet Pro 2852e printer, follow these steps.

 

Download the Printer Driver:

  • Go to the HP Support website.
  • Search for “HP OfficeJet Pro 2852e” in the search bar.
  • Select your printer from the search results.
  • Choose macOS 10.15 (Catalina) from the operating system dropdown menu.
  • Download and install the latest driver available.

Install the Driver:

  • Open the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver.

Add the Printer:

  • Go to System Preferences on your iMac.
  • Click on Printers & Scanners.
  • Click the + button to add a new printer.
  • Your HP OfficeJet Pro 2852e should appear in the list. Select it and click Add.

 

If you encounter any issues during installation or setup, make sure your printer is connected to the same network as your iMac and that it's turned on.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.

After choosing the 2852e printer, the system comes up with detecting the OS 10.15, but the "all software and drivers" button, when picked, only offers a firmware update, not any drivers.
