Printers/scanners are typically the first causality in upgrading any OS.

Thank you.


The HP LaserJet Pro MFP M29w is listed in About AirPrint - Apple Support as a model with support for the driverless AirPrint technology. This means that you should be able to use the printer under macOS 10.15 Catalina without having to install additional drivers, provided that the printer and the computer both are connected to the same network (Wi-Fi router).


Add a printer on Mac – Apple Support (UK)


If necessary, you could try the following procedure:

Power off the Wi-Fi router, the printer, the MacBook Pro, and all other devices/computers. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the router. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the printer. Wait a minute or two. Power on the MacBook Pro. Finally, power on all other devices/computers.
