Product: HP Deskjet 5650
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and older

Hello,

I have a HP 5650 printer that I want to use on my Mac G4 (OS 10.4). I used to have a HP 2600 but it broke down. I believe that I need a driver for the 5650 because, although I was able to make the 5650 the default printer, in the printer info dialogue box, I am only offered the following driver(?) options: D1400, D2400, D4200, F2100, F4100. I also have a Mac Mini ( OS 10.14.6 [Mojave]) which is compatible with your website but I don't want to download the driver onto  the Mini. Unfortunately, although the G4 is connected to the net, it is no longer completely compatible with the hp website and I can't get the driver to download.  So, how do I get the driver and get it onto the G4?

 

Thanks,

totootwo
