Hi everyone, I'm trying to make my old HP laser jet MFP m28-m31 printer work on my new Mac book air (OS Sequoia). The printer is connected to the Mac book by usb, and I'm not able to find a proper driver to make it works.
Can someone help me?
thanks!

First, get the HP embedded web server (“EWS”) going as described on page 41 of the manual, then update the firmware either as described on page 59 of the manual or (probably easier) using the EWS if that has a firmware option, then try to configure and enable AirPrint as described on page 29 of the manual:

The HP generic AirPrint instructions are here:

The Apple AirPrint instructions for macOS are here:
About AirPrint - Apple Support
AirPrint allows most common printing tasks without the need for vendor drivers.
When purchasing printers for use from Apple gear, always look for AirPrint support always, and also look for IPP/IPPS printing support for wider platform compatibility. This avoids the need for vendor drivers for most printing tasks.
