I have an old MacBook Pro (OS X El Captian 10.11.6), need to know how to connect my new HP Officejet Pro 8020 all in one using a USB cable. My software is too old to it wirelessly.
Thanks

Open System Preferences> Printers & Scanners
if the printer does not show in the left hand panel
click on the + button and add your printer.
Click on Default Printer and select your printer.
This should force the Mac to connect to HPs servers and

If that does not work then click on the link below,
