can't print on my HP Deskjet 2130 since got my new Mac mini set up with Big Sur 11.5.2

Hi,

If necessary, any change if you try downloading via the Easy Admin tool?

Alternatively, what happens if you try drivers for a number of the other HP Deskjet models (driver version 2.3.2 et cetera) mentioned in Printer and scanner drivers for Mac - Apple Support? See the (Post Date: Dec 11,2020) HP Printer Drivers v5.1 for macOS (https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1888?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US) package download from Apple.

It is probably a good idea to reset the printing system between tests. Check whether the operating system suggests a suitable driver.

Software conflicts cannot be ruled out during printer driver tests, so make sure that you have backup copies of all important files before doing anything.

Click this link to the HP Support site for your printer.

Make sure the operating selector is set for macOS 11 Big Sur.

There is a download for the HP Easy Start app which once you download, install and run should seek out

any drivers and software to set up your printer.

Or open System Preferences> Printers & Scanners is the printer shown in the left hand column.

Control-click on that and select Reset Printing System.

Making sure your printer is connected to your mac and switched on, click the plus button

to add your printer back.

Now click on Default printer and select your printer from the drop down.

This should now force the mac to connect with HP and download any relevant drivers and software.

You're welcome! Good news.
