I did download the driver from the hp web site and it did not work. I tried calling hp and they no longer provide support for the printer. I then called apple tech support and they could not help either. They did say it was probably because my mac is intel based and the driver may not be compatible with that. They emailed me a list of printers that are compatible with the intel based mac.
