How can I download my HP OFFICEJET PRO 8600 printer to my Macbook 10.10.4 Yosemite?

How can I download my HP OFFICEJET PRO 8600 printer to my Macbook 10.10.4 Yosemite? I have my disk for printer, but it appears to only be fore the older versions of Macbook. Do I have to buy a whole new printer for this new Macbook??? I hate to go to that expense right after spending so much for the machine. My printer really is not all that old... maybe a couple of years at the most and still works good. Is there a way around this problem... maybe a driver or something I can download??? Thank you very much...

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

Hi Adkhs3333,

I see that you are looking for some software for your printer. While the printer’s drivers are generally updated automatically when you add the printer to your computer, here is an article that may help you find the software you are searching for:

Here is some more general information about using your printer in Yosemite:

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

Hi,

No need to buy a new printer for the driver to get.

You can download the necessary drivers from HP global sites for HP OFFICEJET PRO 8600 drivers. I'll share a link for you. Also possible to download from this site. Download and install.
