Hi community :-)
So my imac lion (brand new) doesn't print when asked.
Imac found it. when pressing print nothing, I no longer have the instalation disc so I went to HP to download it, it downloaded but now how do I install it?
Looking forward to hearing from you :-)
iMac, iOS 5.0.1
Not identifying your HP printer doesn't help much, but normally you hook your printer up, turn it on and then add it from the Print & Scan Systems Preference. Select the Add Other Printer or Scanner option by clicking the + sign, and it will download the proper driver from Apple for your HP printer.
HP does not support or provide drivers for the G55 for OS X 10.6.x or 10.7.x. You will need to use third party drivers such as Gutenprint or HPIJS . These drivers will support only the printer portion of your device.
Additionally, the OfficeJet G55 is one of several HP printers that may not use a standard USB port. See http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/hpijs- USB . You can always try, but there are no guarantees. You could also try using a parallel-to-USB adpater.
My best advice is to replace your OfficeJet with a new model.
