Hi, I am having similar problems with running my HP Deskjet printer with M1 I Monterey.
I read HP support ; no way for solving it.
Can anyone recommend a printer that will be running with M1 Monterey please?
Deskjet was about perfect, incl. scanner. Unfortunately, now not of any use at all anymore. Since it is pretty old, I might deserve a new one. Just making sure, it will be up and running.
Thanks for a recommendation, M

Hi,
The printers listed in About AirPrint - Apple Support are compatible with macOS Monterey, and can be used without having to install additional drivers, provided that the printer and the computer are connected to the same network (Wi-Fi- router).
Regarding the old HP Deskjet printer, any information about the exact model? There may be a workaround.

There is an HP 5.1.1 Printer Software Update download from Apple. It is true that the System Requirements for this download say Not compatible with macOS v12 and newer, but some reports have indicated successful use with macOS 12 versions anyway. So, something like the HP Deskjet F2400 series (3.3.2) could perhaps be worth a try (a driver mentioned in Printer and scanner drivers for Mac - Apple Support). It may or may not work/install in this case. Look upon it as an experiment. Make sure that you have backup copies of all important files (documents, photos, et cetera) before testing anything.

HP DeskJet F2480 ... its with me for such a long time... any workaround is much appreciated : )
okay. I will try. However - I simply want to get my loyal piece of printer going. Its not that this attempt would erase any back ups, ... right?
Thank you, for caring.
will let you know, .. if it worked

When installing, or attempting to install, printer drivers (or anything else), software conflicts cannot be ruled out. Albeit unlikely, this could lead to lost data. Therefore, it is always wise to keep at least two or three external backups of all important files. For this, one could use hard drives, cloud storage, DVDs, et cetera.
M1 and HP Deskejt *?
