I am having trouble installing HP Color Laser Printer 2600n on an iMac under Max OS 10.15.7

Please do the following in this order:

• Uninstall all HP software, put in the Trash and empty the Trash.
• Please reset the printing system per Reset the Mac printing system to solve a problem
• Next, follow the instructions in Adding a printer

Then you may be forced to search for third party printer drivers. Apple does not create drivers for printers, scanners, etc. they are supplied by the printer manufacturers, that has always been the case. When a manufacturer no longer supports their legacy devices that is one way for them to tell their customers, it is time to replace the device. If the printers are network printers, you can add them as network printers by using the printers IP address. Apple explains how that is done in:

Add a printer to your printer list so you can use it on Mac - Apple Support (IE)

You can also use the steps to connect the OJP 8200 to see if that will work too.

Good luck.

Hi,

Any change if you try the HP 5.1.1 Printer Software Update at https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1888?locale=en_US ? An HP Color LaserJet 2600 driver version 1.6.1 is mentioned in the referenced article Printer and scanner drivers for Mac - Apple Support.

The HP OfficeJet Pro 8020 All-In-One Printer is listed in About AirPrint - Apple Support as a model supporting the driverless AirPrint technology, so additional drivers should not be needed in this case if the printer and computer are connected to the same network (router). Software/drivers from the printer manufacturer may or may not add functionality.

How are you attempting to connect the device? We need specifics as we are awful mind readers and most of us cannot look over your shoulder.

Also, please remember a Color LJ 2600N is about 15 years old now and may have limitations.

Hi tgelbmann,

Thank you for the report. Glad to hear that it is working now.
