Hi,


It may be a good idea to reset the printing system.

Reset the Mac printing system to solve a problem – Apple Support (UK)

Add a printer on Mac – Apple Support (UK)


Also, there is an HP Easy Admin tool for Mac that allows administrators to download drivers without a connected printer. If you need software from HP, and there is a problem with HP Easy Start or HP Smart, you may want to try this tool.

If nothing else helps, you could perhaps try the Dec 11, 2020 HP Printer Drivers v5.1 for macOS (https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1888?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US) package from Apple. Look for something like the HP LaserJet Professional M1130 MFP Series version 1.8 driver in the Printer and scanner drivers for Mac - Apple Support article.


Before testing drivers, make sure that you have backup copies of all important files (documents, photos, et cetera).
