Printer not available via Air Print on Mac (Sonoma)

All other devices in our home can print to this printer via air print. My previous MacBook Air could also print to it via air print. However, on my new MacBook Air 15" 2024 (Sonoma 14.5), there is no air print option, not even in the "use" field when adding printers. What can I do to be able to use air print? For now I've installed the driver, but still want air print available. (This HP printer is finicky. It will often refuse to print for no reason, claiming file corruption. In those instances, I can switch to air print and it will work. So I must have air print.)

For MacOS Sonoma:

See how to: Add a printer to your printer list so you can use it on Mac - Apple Support

and

How to: Print wirelessly from your Mac to your printer - Apple Support

or

How to: Update your printer software if your printer has a printing problem on Mac - Apple Support


For less specific tho useful info:

If needed: Eg: You may be able to use a USB connection to set up Wi-Fi printing.

See: "If the printer can connect to your Mac via USB" in the article below:

Connect an AirPrint printer to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support


More info: About AirPrint - Apple Support (eg: check if your particular HP printer is listed by Apple)


All the best :-)
