Hi @cricra

 

Welcome to the HP Forums! 

 

I noticed your post that you cannot print with your HP Deskjet 2520hc printer on Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan. I am happy to help! 

 

To confirm the printer's hardware is functional, are you able to make a copy with the printer's scanner glass?

 

Have you tried using other USB ports on the computer, as well as another USB printer cable? 

 

Please double-check that the software and drivers have been installed. If not, you can download it from here

 

If you are able to reach some resolution, please click on Accept Solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. Both icons are below this post.

 

Hope to hear from you soon! 🙂
