How to Set Up Your HP Printer on Mac

Setting up an HP printer on a Mac is quick and easy. Here's how to do it step by step.

HP printer setup on Mac via WiFi:

  1. Connect your HP printer to your WiFi network using the Wireless Setup Wizard on the printer's control panel

  2. On your Mac, go to System Preferences → Printers & Scanners

  3. Click the '+' button

  4. Your HP printer should appear in the list — select it

  5. Click Add — macOS downloads and installs the driver automatically

HP printer setup on Mac via USB:

  1. Connect the USB cable from the printer to your Mac

  2. Turn the printer on

  3. Your Mac detects it automatically and installs the driver

  4. Open System Preferences → Printers & Scanners to confirm it's added

If your HP printer doesn't appear on Mac:

  • Make sure your Mac and printer are on the same WiFi network

  • Restart both the Mac and the printer

  • Download the HP driver manually from support.hp.com → select macOS as your OS

  • On macOS Ventura or later: System Settings → Printers & Scanners → Add Printer

HP AirPrint on Mac:

Most HP printers support AirPrint — Apple's wireless printing standard. If your HP printer supports AirPrint, no driver download is needed. Just add it from Printers & Scanners and start printing.
