HP UTILITY SETUP INSTALL
Only option is to install the dreaded 'HP Smart' app.
HP UTILITY SETUP DRIVERS
Well, the drivers for the latest HP printers are no longer in that package either.
HP UTILITY SETUP DRIVER
I think I saw it mentioned here, it downloads a package called something like 'HP Driver Essentials 6.0.0.6' that contains drivers for newer printers. Newer models came out that the pack didn't have, so we switched to using HP Easy Admin, which downloads a newer package. In the past, we've used that driver pack (the one that hasn't been updated since 2020). I've been asked about getting a M234sdwe to work in our environment. Is there a PPD in the Apple hosted driver pack from 2020 that works for "most" HPLJ models in a similar fashion to the Universal? I often find we end up cycling through similar models in a series and hope for a match, but often they just get installed as generic.Īlso, is there an official or unofficial listing of IPP supported models? I'm not seeing one scanning HP Support, would help us to know up front if we'll need to stick with an PPD deployment and find drivers not included in the Apple pack (using the HPEA tool, thanks MrRoboto!), or if we can just move it to IPP. When a printer is installed as a generic printer to an Apple Device, it seems highly limited. In a Windows environment, we utilize an HP Universal Driver to provide "many" features for print processing regardless of model specific ones. I'm researching moving as many printers to IPP deployment as we can to avoid this. Hopping on the bandwagon here with the same issue. If anyone knows how I can locate and package the driver files on my machine I would be most appreciative. So I do not believe it actually installed the drivers. If I try to manually add a printer, the "installed" driver from that package does not appear as one of the driver options available to me. It sees the embedded printer icon from the driver but it does not appear to actually be using the driver. However, when I push that out to my test machine it does not seem to install everything. It also found the folder /Library/Printers/hp and packaged all of that. I have run Composer before and after this printer install and it finds the ppd file. So you can see why I gave up trying to get the drivers from them. You cannot download anyone's drivers for Mac. I have been assured that nobody in the printer industry does that. I did try reaching out to HP customer support twice for help in getting just a copy of the divers but that seems to be impossible. I need to find a way of packaging the drivers that got installed on my machine so that I can upload them to JAMF instead. Instead you can only download an install assistant called Easy_Start.app which will go out and download the drivers for you, install the printer you need, then remove downloaded drivers, thus leaving you without a copy of them to use in JAMF. HP has decided to not make their drivers available.
The issue I have is getting the drivers up into JAMF. I have uploaded the ppd files and I have policies to push out the printers etc.
I am trying to advertise some printers in Self Service and cannot get the drivers. I have searched for a discussion about this and not find this problem, so I am raising a new twist on and old issue.
