printer goes offline after ventura update My hardware is a MacMini with OS Ventura 13.1 operating wirelessly with my printer (HP Envy 5546 all in one printer/scanner). I cannot print a document as the printer is shown as "Offline". I would like to know if there is a simple procedure to make my printer "online". I have checked that the printer and computer are operating on the same network, also I have only this one printer on my network. Thanks to Old Toad for suggestion re how to make the question clearer.

How do I connect a samsung CLP 680ND printer to my mac running Monteray 12.6.2 I'm looking to use a Samsung CLP 680ND toner printer (received from father) to print via my iMac - it's running Monterey 12.6.2. I have no manufacturer disk and have done some searching but am struggling to find a driver for the printer. I've plugged it in via USB as I believe it's not wireless - it's not being auto recognised. I've tried to install drivers relating to 10.15 etc, but can't see anything later. Any ideas please as would be a shame to bin an expensive bit of kit because I can't get it to connect properly.

Hi,

The following article shows how to add a printer:

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

However, to be more specific, a few questions:

Which exact printer make and model?
How is the printer connected?
Which macOS version?
