Hi @camo7e,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query.

I understand that you're facing issues with your HP Smart Tank 520 not working with your Mac and that the links you found are no longer functional. Here's what you can do to resolve this

Check HP's Official Driver and Software Page:

• Visit HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads and enter your printer model, "HP Smart Tank 520."
• Select your operating system (macOS) and look for any available drivers.

Use Apple's Software Update:

• Sometimes, macOS can automatically detect your printer and install necessary drivers through Apple Software Update.
• Go to the Apple menu and select "System Preferences."
• Click on "Printers & Scanners" and attempt to add your printer. This might prompt macOS to look for available drivers.

Alternative Software Solutions:

• If drivers are unavailable, you might consider using generic drivers or third-party software like Gutenprint which supports various printers.

Connecting and Testing Your Printer:

• Ensure your printer is properly connected to your Mac via USB or the same network.
• Perform a test print to ensure everything is working correctly.

Take care and have an amazing day!
