(On MAC Ventura MACBOOK M2)

This is the new printer I just purchased (not yet showing in my products). The last hp printer I was able to to do "searchable" scans from HP EASY SCAN and HP SMART. HP EASY SCAN allows me to search in Finder; HP SMART does not. It will allow me to search if opened as a pdf; but can not search within my documents.

Any fix on this??

Hope someone can help. Attempted with hp Support. After a very long phone call, rec'd little results.

Thank you in advance.

Here is what he said:

Hello @CCGREEN , Welcome to the HP Support Community!   Right up front, I'm not a Mac user!   But I found this software here: https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/swdetails/hp-color-laserjet-pro-mfp-m478-m479-serie...   Hope this helps! Keep me posted. Andr-1611 If my post resolved your problem please mark this post as an "Accepted Solution". Or click on the YES button to reply that the response was helpful and/or to say “Thank You”.

I did try the software - and it did not allow me to install - it said  "failed" - either Mac or Mac Ventura

But - if you get this thank you.
