Hello, I have a printer Hp Photosmart C4780 and I need to reinstall the driver for Mac os Sonoma 14.5.
I already ask to the Hp support but they are not able to help me as their drivers are not updated.
Anyone could helps me please!
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13
Hi,
The drivers on the HP support page for this printer are for very old Mac operating system versions.
Apple has an HP 5.1.1 Printer Software Update - Apple Support download page, where an HP Photosmart C4700 series is listed in the referenced Printer and scanner drivers for Mac - Apple Support article. The problem is that it says "Not compatible with macOS v12 and newer" (it may or may not work with a later version, but that would be entirely experimental).
Talking about experiments, the HP PhotoSmart c4780 All-in-one Printer is listed as supported by a Linux driver (HPLIP): https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/supported_devices/index .
The replies by Techguyuk in Can’t print with iPadOS17 - Apple Community about using a Raspberry Pi Linux print server could possibly be of interest to you. The idea is to allow printing in an AirPrint-like way from macOS Sonoma computers or iOS/iPadOS devices to a non-AirPrint (USB) printer.
As always, make sure that you have backup copies of all important files before testing anything.
