@washerdoc, Welcome to HP Support Community!

 

Add the printer using Apple AirPrint drivers-

 

Click the Apple menu, and then select System Preferences.

Depending on your operating system version, click Print & Fax, Print & Scan, or Printers & Scanners.

Click the Plus sign, and then click Add Printer or Scanner.

Click the Use or Print Using box, and then select AirPrint

 

Select AirPrint from the Use menu

 

Click Add to add the printer to the list.

Try to print.

 

You can download and install the HP Utility from here

 

Keep me posted.

I got to the point where you select air printer and it was not there.

 

It asked me to choose a driver and the option was to AUTO SELECT and it could not communicate withthe printer. I can tell you this. I have my printer cable hooked up to printer and i can print using the printer cable but i must have deleted something because it worked for years with no problems.

Reset the printing system

If the issue continues, reset the printing system on your Mac. This removes all printers and scanners—including their print jobs and settings—from Printers & Scanners preferences.

  1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Printers & Scanners.
  2. While holding down the Control key on your keyboard, click anywhere in the list of devices.
  3. Choose “Reset printing system” from the menu that appears:

 

Now add the printer using Airprint drivers and try printing.

 

Hope this helps!
