Hi,


Was that a driver download from HP's support page for the HP LaserJet Pro P1102w?


There is an HP 5.1.1 Printer Software Update package from Apple at https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1888?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US . The system requirements for the 5.1.1 package from Apple say Not compatible with macOS v12 and newer, but one report about an HP LaserJet P1005 (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253578097?answerId=256707369022#256707369022) indicated that it worked with macOS 12.1 anyway.


If you have not done so already, you could perhaps carry out a few experiments with the 5.1.1 package from Apple. Look for an HP LaserJet Professional P1100w or HP LaserJet Professional P1100 version 6.9 driver. This may or may not work. It may not even install at all.


Since software conflicts cannot be ruled out, make sure that you have backup copies of all important files before testing anything.


BTW, if you want to try a wireless network connection (via a Wi-Fi router) as an alternative to USB, the HP LaserJet P1102w does not appear to be listed in the December 14, 2021 (US) version of About AirPrint - Apple Support. However, I noticed that this model was mentioned in an iOS: AirPrint 101 HT4356 article from Apple (February 13, 2012), so it may be an older AirPrint version. It may also be worth checking whether there are any printer firmware updates.

Sorry about the delay. Got frustrated and left the printer alone for awhile. I'm running Monterey 12.2. When I download the HP driver it stated that the driver only works for 12.0 or earlier. No other driver is available. My printer is an HP 1102w. The HP communities have been howling about the fact that it has been at least a month for HP to do anything.
