I wish I hadn't moved my MacBook Pro to Monterey. There is no driver available for my Canon M560 printer/scanner that will work with this IOS. Same with my HP Laserjet P 1102W. Apple isn't providing a driver for either. So are they now garbage? Why does Apple do this? they're as bad as MS
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13
Hi,
If the 5.1 driver package from HP's support page for the P1102W does not work, there is an updated HP 5.1.1 Printer Software Update download from Apple. It is true that the System Requirements for the latter download say macOS 10.14 and Not compatible with macOS v12 and newer, but some reports have indicated successful use with macOS 12 versions anyway. So, something like the HP LaserJet Professional P1100w driver (6.9) mentioned in Printer and scanner drivers for Mac - Apple Support could perhaps be worth a try. It may or may not work/install in this case. Look upon it as an experiment. Make sure that you have backup copies of all important files (documents, photos, et cetera) before testing anything.

The HP LaserJet P1102w is not mentioned in About AirPrint - Apple Support (US edition, April 15, 2022). However, an HP LaserJet P1102w Printer was listed as an AirPrint-supported model in an old (February 13. 2012) iOS: AirPrint 101 Apple article (HT4356). Possibly an early firmware/AirPrint version? A firmware update may be required. There have been printer firmware updates made available via the HP download pages for the HP LaserJet P1102w Printer (but these files will be shown only if macOS 10.14 or earlier is selected).
If the driverless AirPrint technology would work properly with this printer, one should not have to install drivers from the manufacturer, provided that the printer and the MacBook Air are connected to the same network (Wi-Fi router).
For a USB connection, drivers would be needed.
If necessary, you could also use an iPhone/iPad to test a printer's AirPrint capabilities.

You're welcome! Glad to hear that the HP printer works.
Regarding the Canon MP560, drivers from the printer manufacturer appear to be for earlier operating system versions only. Also, there is no indication that the Canon Printer Drivers v3.4 for macOS from Apple can be used under macOS Monterey, but you never know (a Canon MP560 series 16.10.0.0 driver is listed in the referenced article).
This doesn't help. Trust me, I've googled and checked this out. This is particular to Monterey, is on two different printers by diff manufacturers. This is a Monterey issue.
Thanks so very much for the HP link. It worked! I wonder why I couldn't see it when I looked. I'm very grateful to you.
Now, all I have to solve is for my Canon Mp 560 which the Mac also can't find. And my JBL headphones which the bluetooth can't find. I have done some of the troubleshooting but it isn't working.
Did you try deleting the printers in System Preferences under Printers and Scanners, then adding them back?
Both printers not working after Monterey upgrade
