I need installation software for HP printer laser 107a please.

I bought HP printer laser 107a, unfortunately I can't install it on my macbook BigSur. May macOS support for the installation software? How can I print through my macbook?

The HP support pages appear to indicate that the focus is on Windows and Linux with the 107a model. This does not completely rule out that a Mac printer driver for another similar printer could be used.


There is an HP Laser 107w in the AirPrint list (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201311). An AirPrint-enabled printer is compatible with macOS. The AirPrint technology means that a printer driver is not needed. Driver/software from the printer manufacturer may or may not add functionality. Unfortunately, the HP Laser 107a is not an AirPrint model.


Since there are Linux drivers for the 107a, a workaround may be to let an old PC running a free Ubuntu version share the USB printer on a network. Ubuntu uses CUPS and understands Bonjour. As an alternative to a normal PC, it should be possible to use a Raspberry Pi as the print server.
