HP Printer 2332 All in One

Is there a way to connect HP Deskjet Printer 2332 All in one to Mac OS 10.15.6?


HP says the driver is only available till 10.15 and not 10.15.6.


Is there a way out? Please guide.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

Normally, 10.15 or 10.15.6 should not make a difference, especially not since HP Easy Start is available for macOS 10.14 and Big Sur as well.

When you say that it doesn't work, what happened?


Was it possible to use HP Easy Start at all? If yes, did HP Easy Start recognise your exact printer model? Did it then at some point indicate that a driver was not available for your operating system version?


If HP Easy Start did not behave as expected, did you try HP Easy Admin (see my earlier message)?


Is the latest firmware installed?


According to the specifications (https://support.hp.com/au-en/product/hp-deskjet-2300-all-in-one-printer-series/30268694/model/33691551/document/c06701307), a special HP PCL 3 GUI print language is used. If nothing else works, you may want to carry out experiments with drivers for other DeskJet models using the same print language. One way of doing this could be via the 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. Look for printers and drivers mentioned in the Printer and scanner drivers for Mac - Apple Support article. It may or may not work in this case.


Software conflicts cannot be ruled out when testing printer drivers. Data may be lost. Make sure that you have backup copies of all important files (documents, photos, et cetera).

HP released HP Easy Start in March 2021 for Catalina. All you can do is install that and hope that it then installs the DeskJet 2332 driver for you. Once it has done that, you need to visit System Preferences > Printers & Scanners, right-click on the device and select Reset printing system… from that secondary menu. When you re-add the printer, choose the appropriate HP driver from the list of drivers.

Well, I can only think of one: With an Intel chip, use a Virtual Machine.


Run this Through a Virtual Machine:

You can using a Virtual Machine(VM) for this. Basically, it is (Windows-in-a-window). You would open items in it, and run the application right off of that. You would use the VM in its own window, while your Mac is running in the background.  The printer would be accessed and would operate as desired on the VM. Virtual Machine applications include VMWare Fusion and ParallelsLearn more here: What Is a Virtual Machine? - VMWare Support.
