HP LaserJet, HP OfficeJet Enterprise, HP PageWide Enterprise, HP Managed - Set up the HP printer with AirPrint in macOS

Many HP printers can use AirPrint to print without a driver when the printer and the Mac are connected to the same local network.

In macOS X 10.9 and newer, HP printers added to the Printers & Scanners list will use AirPrint by default.

Add the HP printer with AirPrint to the Printers & Scanners list

To print using AirPrint, add the HP printer to the Printers & Scanners list using a USB, wired network, or wireless network connection.

Note:

AirPrint also provides basic fax (F) or scan (S) capability in macOS X 10.10 and newer.

  1. Make sure you have an AirPrint-capable printer.

  2. Turn on the printer and make sure that it is in a Ready state.

  3. Make sure that the printer is connected via USB, a wired network, or a wireless network.

  4. Open the Apple menu (Apple menu icon), and then click System Preferences.

  6. Click the Add printer icon (Add printer icon), and then click the name of the printer in the list.

    Note:

    Make sure that the printer Kind is "Bonjour," "Bonjour Multifunction," or "USB."
