Hi @Dan11221944,

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer!  

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

Let's resolve the issue with your HP OfficeJet Pro 8130e printer not recognizing your Apple Mac Mini when printing from Google apps:

1. Check Printer Connection:

USB Connection: Unplug and reconnect the USB cable. Try a different USB port on your Mac Mini.

Wi-Fi Connection: Ensure both devices are on the same network. Go to Settings > Network Settings > Wireless Setup Wizard on your printer to reconnect.

Ethernet Connection: Ensure the printer is connected to the router via Ethernet cable.

2. Restart Devices:

Restart your Mac Mini.

Restart the printer (turn it off, unplug for 30 seconds, and turn it back on).

Restart the router if using Wi-Fi.

3. Add the Printer Manually on Mac:

Go to Apple Menu > System Settings > Printers & Scanners.

If the printer isn't listed, click + (Add Printer), select your printer, and click Add.

4. Install HP Smart App:

Download and install the HP Smart app from the Mac App Store.

Follow the setup instructions to connect your printer.

5. Reset Printing System (If Needed):

Go to Apple Menu > System Settings > Printers & Scanners.

Right-click (or Control + Click) in the printer list, select Reset Printing System, and confirm.

Restart your Mac and add the printer again.

6. Check Google App Permissions:

In Google Chrome, go to chrome://settings/permissions.

Ensure local printers are allowed.

7. Update macOS and Printer Drivers:

Go to Apple Menu > System Settings > General > Software Update and update macOS.

Download and install the latest HP printer driver from HP’s official website.
