Hi,


Have you tried resetting the printing system and re-adding the all-in-one printer in accordance with the following articles?

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

Add a printer on Mac – Apple Support (UK)


An HP Photosmart C309a series version 4.2.2 driver is listed in Printer and scanner drivers for Mac - Apple Support. If necessary, you may want to check whether the download HP 5.1.1 Printer Software Update package from Apple possibly could be useful in this case.

Thank you Jan. It's worked for me.

I also did a couple steps:

Remove everything under /Library/Printers

Restart my Laptop

Then, it prompt to down load new driver and able to detect correct printer "Photosmart C309a series [0C56A5] Bonjour Multifunction"

Once I installed the driver, the system is able to display Printer and the Scanner button.


Again, thank you.


Son.
