HP printers Old school

So I have this old printer from 2015 hp all in one, HP website no longer allows you to update their drivers or software? I guess if you don't have a new printer everything doesn't work to well anymore right. You'll have to download the HP Smart app that looks like a printer and see if it connects to your old printer if it has bluetooth and wifi your one of the luckily ones. So if you have a MacBook or iMac it tells you to download the HP Smart app for printers, because you can no longer download drivers for the printer and their website no longer has their driver & software page up you'll get this nice little ERROR code 403 that also says Forbidden. So they want you to download the smart app to your MacBook or iMac after it gets set up if your lucky then they want you to go into system preferences, to your printer icon then go into settings minus your printer and try to add it on again. If your lucky it will add it. If not what you do is go over to the actual printer go through its settings and go to advance setting to network information which hopefully you can print that off, take that sheet and go back to your computer then go to your System preferences settings again, down to your printer icon then try to add your printer again. If you can see it on the list great. If not they you'll look up at the window and see three icon in your printer window go to the middle one, it will ask you for your IP address Type that in and it should work it's magic and pick up your printer again. Hopefully that helped just wanted to get this out there. you can also go to 123.hp.com for printing off directions too, But all in all download the Smart app from the apple app store.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.2
