Where can I find drivers for HP printers compatible with Sonoma?

HP quit supporting that printer 11/1/2022. You can replace it with any AirPrint printer and you will find that HP has many options too. Manufactures have now turned to AirPrint so they do not have to maintain the drivers for the printers themselves.

About AirPrint - Apple Support

Are you using the "Hp Smart app" ? <https://support.hp.com/ie-en/document/ish_1716406-1413451-16>

Works flawlessly in Sonoma for me !

HP Smart did not help me (I have an HP Envy 6000 that had been connected prior to Sonoma upgrade). Also tried HP Easy or something like that, also didn't help.

I have an Officejet 6700 printer and using Easy start application from HP site, everything is installed, also the good Easy Scan software (with OCR). The problem is that with OS Sonoma (never had beta) when printing with Acrobat Reader DC some options are not available stating I'm using Mac OS Sonoma Beta. But I only installed and have the final version !

You are a genius!!!.. I have an old HP D110 printer that simply would not work with my Sonoma 14.6.1--until I took your advice and loaded the Generic. So far, so good.

But AirPrint printer doesn't support the full range of features such as duplex printing.

Yes, AirPrint on an HP printer does support duplex printing. This is using AirPrint without any HP Drivers installed.

Yep, positive that it is AirPrint. Some options will differ depending on the printer, but double sided printing is definitely supported by AirPrint. Scroll down the page farther when you print to see if you have the option in a different place. For example, on mine under Paper Handling, I also have options for collated sheets.

HP Color LaserJet CP2025. No HP drivers available for any macOS in the last six years (or longer). Although this device is in Apple's HP 5.1.1 Printer Software update (12/2020), those requirements now state not compatible with macOS 12.* or newer.

This is strictly a laser printer so any reference to third-party scanning software is irrelevant.

Time for an AirPrint compatible printer replacement or a new device clearly indicating AirPrint support on the product literature.

This doesn't help helpless111 as it is for airplay printers. But others struggling with Sonoma 14 and HP printers in general might find it helpful.

After upgrading from 13.x to 14.1 my printer in the dock became a large "?". It was still in the list of printer but wasn't working correctly. For starters it would not scan. So I removed it and tried to install it again with the result that I could select the printer but not a driver. After a bit of searching I and (randomly clicking???) I got my printer to work. 

possible requirement: HP printer capable of airprint , bonjour on (assumption is that you have bonjour on already since the printer worked before in macos 13 or less) 

These are the steps I took 

1) on macos: remove printer 

(I did the next step because of a search result on getting scanning to work after a 'could not connect error'. it may not be necessary becasue under macos 13 it was on with ipv4 & 6)

2) on the HP printer: (via the internal webserver), change network | general | network protocols to ipv4 only

3) on macos: Add printer -> install ip printer (the basketball/earth icon at the top of add printer page) with ip address of the printer (192.168....etc or whatever you local printer ip is) and protocol AirPrint.

4) check you can print, you probably cannot scan (scanner connection error / or just nothing) 

5) on macos: remove the printer

6) on macos: add printer - it should now be in the list and this time the driver should automatically come up.

result is that it now installs the HP printer with the airplay driver and that the scanning function works.

The effective difference after this success between macos 13.x and 14.x is that in the dock I no longer have the specific printer but instead have "print centre" (or what ever the spelling is of your MacOS language). Printer center (or centre) shows a list of all print devices but is effectively the same for me when it comes to the HP printer.

On reflection, considering the steps I took, it seems to me to be a bug in macos 14 since I got it to work without installing any HP software and just the 'out-of-the-box' drivers. If macos 14.1 was working correctly only step 6 would be needed. Especially step 3 seems to me like it gives macos 14.1 a kick in the right direction.

You can use Print Center's "Printer -> Add to Dock" menu item to put specific printers in the dock.

Hope this is helpful.

Mine is HP PSC 1510 and the scanner doesn't work with new Macbook pro M3 silicone.

After installing the HP 5.1.1 Printer Software Update, now I can see the device showing from the import menu, from both Image Capture and Preview.

HP Envy printer working fine on AirPrint all devices -phones, iPads, and Macs. Then the machine running Sonoma 14.4.1 print jobs paused printer, unable to change this. Other devices still all working. In the end resorted to a USB connection to get the functionality back.

Make sure the Sonoma computer is connected to the same Wifi, then remove the printer driver from that computer and add it back making sure to use the Bonjour/AirPrint driver.

I've got a really old HP P2015 printer but it stiil works well and I'm determined to get more miles out of it. I experienced the same issue when I bought a new MacBook Air M3 with Sonoma for my wife. There is a simple fix, at least for this simple printer: don't use the HP device-specific driver. When you add the printer, in the "Use:" dropdown, select Generic PostScript Printer. You'll get a warning that you "may not be able to use all of the features" of your printer but you should be able to print. Not upgrading software is a common ploy among tech companies to "encourage" customers to buy new hardware. Apple blaming HP for this issue is, at best, ironic.

Whenever you rely on a device specific driver it is always that manufactures responsibility to maintain the drivers across any OS they want to continue to support. That is the reason for the push to AirPrint printers so you are not relying on the manufacturer for these drivers. The Generic PostScript driver that you used is provided by Apple when the manufacturer does not offer a specific driver and the printer does not support AirPrint.

With any future printer you purchase, you just need to make sure it is AirPrint compatible and you will no longer have the problem of the printer manufacturer not keeping up with the new OS versions or the scenario of blaming Apple or the printer manufacturer for the issue.

The same solution worked for me. What a relief! I also have an older printer, no WiFi, no AirPrint, but it works just fine, thank you, with USB. I'd rather spend 20 bucks on an adapter than $200+ on a new printer.
