Driver for HP C4480 printer that works with Monterey

Hi,

The drivers from HP for the HP Photosmart C4480 All-in-One Printer appear to be for very old Mac OS X versions. Instead, you may want to check whether the HP 5.1.1 Printer Software Update package from Apple could be used with your computer and operating system. Look upon this as an experiment. It may or may not work. It is true that the system requirements indicate that macOS 12 is not compatible, but there have been reports about other printers working with this package anyway. Something like the HP Photosmart C4400 series version 5.0.5 driver mentioned in the Printer and scanner drivers for Mac - Apple Support article could perhaps be worth a try. Software conflicts cannot be ruled out, so make sure that you have backup copies of all important files (documents, photos, et cetera) before testing anything.

Hello Karen,

Thank you for the update. Have you also tried resetting the printing system and re-adding the printer (links above)? Any other printer drivers (perhaps for similar models) under Use: that could be tested? Again, this would be purely experimental.

Good luck!
