HP LaserJet M1319f printer not printing after macOS Golden Gate 27.0 update

On Sept. 16, I updated my MB Max M1 to Golden Gate 27.0 and discovered on Sept. 17 that my HP LaserJet M1319f will not print, error message: "The printer software is not compatible with this device."

I called Apple Support and they couldn't resolve the issue.

Thoughts on a possible solution?

BTW, this LaserJet M1319f is connected via USB. And it has performed flawlessly through every macOS new release and two MB Pros for the past 19+ years.

Thanks.

MacBook Pro (M1, 2020)

Based on user reports, macOS 27 Golden Gate has ‘broken’ printer drivers from several manufacturers. 

 

The HP LaserJet M1319f is USB only and does not support AirPrint, which is the easiest way to connect to a printer and does not require drivers from the manufacturer, only an AirPrint-capable printer. 

 

It has been suggested that Rosetta 2 (the macOS engine for running Intel apps on Apple Silicon) is needed for old printer drivers. It is probably installed on your Mac already, but maybe not. If it’s not and you run an Intel app, you’d be prompted to install it. That may not happen with a printer driver. Accordingly, it may help to install Rosetta 2 using Terminal. Apple provides instructions for that HERE.

 

If that does not help, then the first step is to reset your printing system. Note that doing so will remove all your printers and you will need to re-add them, but that is Apple’s suggested method to solve printing problems.

 

Steps to Reset the Printing System

  • Open System Settings > Printers & Scanners
  • Secondary-click (right-click, two-finger click) in the top two lines or on any printer and select Reset Printing System

 

Since your printer does not support AirPrint, check the manufacturer’s website, and if there are no updated drivers, then you may be able to set up your printer on macOS using a generic driver.

 

Steps to Connect and Print

  • Connect the printer: Plug the printer into your Mac using a USB cable, or connect it to your local network via an Ethernet cable. 
  • Add the printer: Click Add Printer, Scanner, or Fax (the + button).
  • Choose Driver: Select your printer from the list. In the "Use" drop-down menu, choose Generic PostScript Printer.
  • Finish setup: Click Add to complete the installation.
  • More info: Add a printer to your printer list so you can use it on Mac - Apple Support

 

If that does not work, there are two other options:

 

Option 1: onnect the printer to a always-on host computer (like a Mac, Windows PC, or Raspberry Pi) running third-party print server software such as HandyPrint, Onyx, or a CUPS-based solution to share the printer via AirPrint.

 

Option 2: you may be able to use the manufacturer’s printing app, which is available on the Mac App Store.

Problem is that the printer manufacturer is responsible for updating their drivers to be compatible with macOS, not the other way around. I doubt that HP will be releasing any new drivers for a twenty year old printer. Printer manufacturers are notorious for abandoning their products after a couple of years.


So don't expect anything from Apple in this matter.

Thank you for the detailed response. Unfortunately, with the exception of trying to download Rosetta (which I hesitate to do because of past problems with similar apps), I tried everyone of your suggestions to no available (e.g., reset the printing system, removed/re-added printer, trying HP Smart, and attempting to re-install the M1319 using the "Generic PCL Printer" (which wasn't even listed as an option.)

Do you have any idea as to when Apple plans on releasing a fix to its broken printer patch, or, are they just going to ignore it?
