#Hp printer help for mac drivers#

I have a duplexer and multiple trays on the LaserJet 4300, so I knew that Apple’s Generic PostScript driver (which only allows duplexing) wouldn’t work for me.

So then I re-installed Apple’s mega-HP driver package (last updated in 2017) from HP Printer Drivers v5.1 for OS X. But trying to re-add the printer in Printers & Scanners didn’t enable printing. Next, I deleted the printer in System Preferences > Printers & Scanners. Although I can’t recall the exact path, I found its folder location buried (to find the path, hold down the command key, and click and hold in the window’s title bar) in a folder or two that was inside an HP folder residing in /Library/Printers (not /System/Library or ~/Library/Printers). I clicked on the “Reveal in Finder” button to locate the file. Then later in the day, an HP framework file was identified by macOS as being dangerous, and something that could damage my system. And that update was a small HP driver update. Oddly, as I recall, it began earlier in the day with Software Update telling me that I had an update. I have a 16-year old HP LaserJet 4300, and I’m on macOS 10.15.7. This happened to me on Saturday, October 24. #1577: iPhone 12/12 Pro repair program, fix corrupted Chrome extensions, iCloud Mail custom domains, Chipolo AirTag alternative, 10-digit dialing changesĬode-Signing Snafu Breaks Many HP Printers.#1578: Apple delays CSAM detection, upgrade Quicken 2007 to Quicken Deluxe, App Store settlement and regulatory changes.
