@DYANALYN, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Update the printer firmware
Click here to know different methods of updating printer firmware.
Also, check for any software updates on MAC
Click here to know how.
Install the printer driver via Apple Software Update
- Click the Apple menu, click System Preferences, and then click Print & Scan or Printers & Scanners.
- Check if your printer name displays in the Printers list, If your printer is listed, click the printer name, click the minus sign to delete the printer.
- If you see multiple printer queues for the same printer, remove all extra printers by selecting them one at a time, and then clicking the minus button at the bottom of the list.
- Click the plus sign, click Add Printer or Scanner, click the printer name.
- Click the Use or Print Using menu, select the name of your printer in the pop-up menu. Then click Add.
- Try to print.
Let me know how this goes.

Make sure the USB cable used is no longer than 3 meters.
Connect the USB cable directly between the MAC and the printer. Use of a USB hub is not recommended.
- Check if the printer is getting recognized by your MAC:
- From the Apple menu, choose About This Mac.
- Click System Report.
- Under the Hardware heading on the left side of the System Information window, click USB.
USB 3 devices appear under USB 3.0 Bus, and USB 2 devices appear under USB 2.0 Bus. The printer should be under the USB 2.0 Bus
Once the printer is detected, you can install the printer using driver available via Apple software update as mentioned in my previous post.
Keep me posted for further assistance.
