Is there any way to get my MacBook Air to print to my HP Officejet Pro 8100? My printer has been working great and I love the features that it has. I don't want to buy a new printer!
Thank you for helping!
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
Hi,
The HP Officejet Pro 8100 does not appear to be a model supporting the driverless AirPrint technology, so it would probably be correct to assume that drivers are needed.
To begin with, it may be a good idea to reset the printing system. Does the operating system offer a suitable driver to use?

If necessary, you could try the (Post Date: Dec 11, 2020) HP Printer Drivers v5.1 for macOS (https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1888?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US) package download from Apple. Once open, look for and try something like the HP Officejet Pro 8100 version 4.1.1 driver listed in the Printer and scanner drivers for Mac - Apple Support article.
When testing drivers, software conflicts cannot be ruled out. Make sure that you have backup copies of all important files (documents, photos, et cetera).
