Q: Where is hp officejet pro 8500 A909g software?
HP says Apple has the software for this printer. Just download it from Software Update. Wrong. I have tried many times and always get a message that it is not currently available from the Software Update server. HP does not have the download on its website because Apple is supposed to provide it. So I'm caught in the middle of some measure of incompetence here. Where can I get this software, pray tell?
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

So, it seem to recognize and attempt to make some connection…
I try to add the printer, which does appear in the ADD list that comes up.
Consider trying the following one at a time:
(a) First, delete the printer that appears in the list. Then try adding it.
(b) Reset printing system. (Note: see thread of similar problem and solution.)
(c) If the problem persists, consider rebooting your computer. Launch Disk Utilities and run Verify Disk. (Just thinking there might be a gremlin preventing…). If the test result is OK then run Repair Disk Permissions. (The latter used to cure ills with my HP printer.)
BTW: How is the printer connected, i.e., USB or wired or wireless?
