Hi,


You may want to check whether the macOS 10.14 requirement is absolute. A printer manufacturer may supply extra software, not immediately needed for printing, with higher system requirements (for setup, ink management, and similar purposes). For instance, a manual setup could mean that an earlier operating system may be used.


In this case, macOS 13 can be selected on the HP printer driver downloads page:

Also, an HP DeskJet 2700 All-In-One Printer is listed in About AirPrint - Apple Support as a model with support for the driverless AirPrint technology. An AirPrint-enabled model can be used without additional drivers, provided that the printer and the computer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network (router). Usually, the lowest possible Mac OS X version for AirPrint would be 10.7 Lion.
