Hi,


As indicated by Eau Rouge, the Color Laser 150a does not support macOS. However, Windows and Linux are supported.

If it is not possible to get help from the printer manufacturer, and if nothing else works, carrying out experiments and testing workarounds could be a way forward. However, if so, make sure that you know what you are doing. There is always a certain risk with an experiment. Software and hardware problems cannot be ruled out. Data may be lost. So, before you start, make sure that at least three backup copies (on separate media) of important files (documents, photos, etc.) are available.


If you have access to an old PC (with USB and Ethernet ports), you could possibly try an appropriate (free) earlier desktop version of Ubuntu (or another Linux distribution) on that machine, in order to make it a print server. There is a V1.00.39:00.12_00.15 HP Color LaserJet 150a driver for Ubuntu (https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-color-laser-150-printer-series/24494352/model/24494353). Ubuntu is using CUPS. A USB printer (like the Color LaserJet 150a) could be connected to a USB port on the Ubuntu PC. This printer could then be configured to be shared (only a few simple steps). An Ubuntu PC can handle Bonjour/mDNS/Avahi. Connect the Ubuntu PC (with the Color LaserJet 150a) via Ethernet to a network (one of the LAN ports of a Wi-Fi router). Check whether the shared printer will be recognised by your Mac (wirelessly connected to the router), and whether it is possible to print.
