HP p1005 laserjet printer driver install problem

Hello, I found an easy way to modify the drivers to make them work under the system Sequoia 15.2 and higher.

1. download the driver HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.pkg
2. move the .pkg file onto your desktop
3. use the pkgutil command in terminal to expand the package contents
4. pkgutil --expand ~/Desktop/HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.pkg ~/Desktop/HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.unpkg
5. open the “distribution” file in a text editor like textedit
6. change both instances of ‘15’ to something like ‘99’ in the InstallationCheck function. save the file after making the change.
7. use pkgutil to repackage
8. pkgutil --flatten ~/Desktop/HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.unpkg ~/Desktop/HewlettPackardPrinterDriversFix.pkg
9. open the package (you will likely need to go to security settings to allow running the package if you get an error that it couldn’t be verified)
10. print the internet

thanks to this change everything works perfectly and it saved my P1005 printer from the trash

Information I have been looking for a long time. Only with a simple update (for example macOS 15.0 --> 15.01) the installation files were not working. I am very grateful to you for this information

Uzun zamandır aradığım bilgi. Sadece basit bir güncelleme ile (örneğin macOS 15.0 --> 15.01) kurulum dosyaları çalışmıyordu. ** bilgi için size çok minnettarım

After doing a clean install on Macos Sequoia, I could not install the HP Laserjet p1005 driver no matter what I did. However, I found a solution later. Those who have problems with other printers may find a solution with this method.

1- Download ‘HP 5.1.1 Printer Software Update’ from this address.

2- Double click on the .dmg file you downloaded.

3- Extract the HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.pkg file to a suitable location.

4- Download Pacifist application.

5- Open Pacifist and select the HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.pkg file in the driver package you linked using the ‘Open Package’ option.

6- Select not ‘HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.pkg’ as in the picture, but a sub-root (1) from the programme. ‘28.10.2021, 22:34’ version is installed when install (2) is pressed.

7- Afterwards, adding a printer can be done through the normal system.

I haven't tried it, but I think it will be in the brand and model printers here.

I was able to install and use it on Macos Sequoia version 15.0.1.

Thanks! This quick fix worked for my HP Laserjet P1505. So simple, can't believe HP wouldn't take the time to fix this issue.

Thanks, it works! My LaserJet Pro M1132 printer is running on macOS Sequoia!

This solution also solves the problem for the HP Laserjet 1022 (Sequoia 15.3.2). I no longer have to replace a printer that works very well. Thank you so much !!!

THANKS THANKS THANKS!!! It works perfectly for my old and beautiful Laserjet P1005, with sequoia 15.4.1

Thank You very much for your help! I have an old HP Laserjet 1018 printer, I use Mac OS Sequoia 15.3.1, I can use this printer again!!!!! I spent two days searching for the answer to my printer driver problem, and with your help, everything finally worked out!!!

Thank you, Bus1k, for teaching us all about these simple "pkgutil" Terminal commands.

I appreciate not needing to download any unfamiliar app.

Your pkgutil solution worked for my HP LaserJet 4050N — it's finally installed on my M4 Mac mini macOS 15.4.1.

Is it possible to somehow remove 1 GB of driver after installation, leaving only the most necessary? It's surprising that the driver of a regular printer requires so much space.

Thank you.

Возможно ли как-то удалить 1 ГБ драйвера после установки, оставив только самое необходимое? Удивляет, что для драйвера обычного принтера требуется столько места.

Спасибо.

It just WORKED !! Thank you so much (using a Macbook air M2 on Sequoia 15.0.1

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

It Works!!!... I've been searching the driver for my favorite printer... the greatest HP P1005.... and finally the solution... thanks!!!

You should give huseyin572 a upvote for that Oscar1978JL

I was not able to use this, since it cannot download for Sequoia 15.2

I'm so disappointed!!!

Does anyone know of a printer that will support 15.2 and higher?

it works. Thank you :)

worked like a treat. Thank you so much you just saved me from having to buy a new printer.
