Please help......I have been trying for 2 days to connect a new wireless HP Printer with my Mac. I am so frustrated.
macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)
Question marked as
Pm, is this what you've done?
Installing the driver in macOS or OS X 10.7 and later
To install the HP driver through Apple Software Update, create a new print queue on the Mac.
NOTE:Where is the download button? Your HP drivers automatically download and install through Apple Software Update, but if you want to manually download drivers, go to HP Printer Drivers for macOS and OS X Mavericks and later (in English) or HP Printer Drivers for OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Lion (in English) on the Apple support site.
- Click the Apple menu, then click System Preferences.
- Depending on your operating system version, click Print & Fax, Print & Scan, or Printers & Scanners.
- Check if the name of your printer displays in the Printers list. Do one of the following steps, depending on if the printer is listed or not.
- If your printer is listed, remove and re-add the printer to confirm communication and to make sure the correct driver is used. Click the name of your printer, then click the minus sign
to delete the printer. Once the printer is removed, click the plus sign 
, click Add Printer or Scanner, click the name of your printer, then continue to the next step. - If your printer is not listed, click the plus sign, click Add Printer or Scanner, click the name of your printer, then continue to the next step.
- If your printer is not listed in the Add Printer or Scanner window, make sure the printer is connected to the Mac with a USB cable, or that it is on the same wired or wireless network as your Mac. See the Frequently asked questions in this document to resolve connection issues, try to add the printer again, then continue to the next step.
- Click the Use or Print Using menu, then select the name of your printer.
NOTE:
Selecting a Generic driver option from the Use menu can result in limited printer functionality.
- Click Add to add the printer to the list.
If you are prompted to install software, click Download and Install to complete the installation.
- If ‘Software is currently unavailable’ displays, click Cancel, then go to Printer and scanner software for macOS Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, and Mavericks (in English). If your printer is supported, go to HP Printer Drivers for macOS and OS X Mavericks and later (in English) or HP Printer Drivers for OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Lion (in English) to try manually installing the drivers.
- Close the System Preferences window.
- Try to print, scan, or fax, depending on your printer functionality.
- If you can print, scan, or fax, you installed the driver and can now use your printer.
- If you cannot print, scan, or fax, see the Frequently asked questions on scanning issues and methods, driver support information, and to troubleshoot printer connection issues.
