Hi Just ordered a 24"mac which I guess comes with OS Ventura. My question is will my printer still work its a HPC2780 which is a old but very good printer. Thanks

Hi,
Do you mean HP C7280?
HP's support page for this printer shows drivers for older Mac operating systems only.
What you do here will be experimental. You could perhaps check whether the HP 5.1.1 Printer Software Update package download from Apple can be used (despite the System Requirements limitation). It may or may not open/install/work. Look for something like the HP Photosmart C7200 series 5.0.5 driver listed in the referenced article Printer and scanner drivers for Mac - Apple Support.
As always, make sure that you have backup copies of all important files before testing anything. Software conflicts cannot be ruled out.
See the following article for details about how to add the printer.
