update printer driver not found on maker website

Hi,

The drivers from HP for the Photosmart C3180 All-in-One Printer appear to be for very old Mac operating systems.

I would not expect too much, but you could perhaps have a look at the Apple download HP 5.1.1 Printer Software Update (despite the system requirements, which exclude macOS 12). An HP Photosmart C3100 series version 4.0.5 driver is mentioned in the article Printer and scanner drivers for Mac - Apple Support. It may not install/work at all. Look upon this as an experiment only. Make sure that you have backup copies of all important files (documents, photos, et cetera) before testing anything.

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

Add a printer to your printer list so you can use it on Mac – Apple Support (UK)

Another option is to visit the link below where they have volunteers who write drivers for many printers which are no longer supported. There may be one there that works for you.

Gutenprint Supported Printers

I am just teasing, but why would you send someone to Gutenprint when the specified device is not among the supported HP devices? 🧐 Gutenprint has not released a new Mac client since 2019.
