Big Sur 11.4 does not work with my HP C46

I upgraded to Big Sur 11.4 and now my HP photosmart C4680 printer doesn't work. This printer came with a previous MacBook. How do I make them communicate?

Hi,


You may want to begin by resetting the printing system and re-adding the printer. Does the operating system suggest a suitable driver?

The support page for the HP Photosmart C4680 All-in-One Printer does not appear to have drivers for modern Mac operating systems.


If necessary, you could perhaps test the (Post Date: Dec 11, 2020) HP Printer Drivers v5.1 for macOS package from Apple (https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1888?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US) instead. An HP Photosmart C4600 series (driver version 3.3.2) is mentioned in the referenced article Printer and scanner drivers for Mac - Apple Support.


Software conflicts cannot be ruled out when testing printer drivers, so make sure that you have multiple backup copies of important files (documents, photos, et cetera).
