Using HP LaserJet Pro MFP M26A With MacOS Ventura

Hello There,

I am hoping if somebody can help me out here as I am trying to setup HP LaserJet Pro MFP M26A With OSVentura on my 2.3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 iMac.

The problem is that the system have detected my printer (refer below Image), but I am unable to get a print out.

TheUSB connectivbity is working ok & I am badly looking for the input to how to resolve this print issue.

Looking forward for your valuable input. Thank you

Two suggestions.

Open the printer queue (second screenshot) and determine if there are any pending print jobs or if the printer has been "paused". Delete any pending jobs and click the button or icon that suggests un-pausing it.
Remove the printer and add it again. I realize the "kind" is "generic" and should work, but HP offers a driver for that printer, available on their website. https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/hp-laserjet-pro-mfp-m25-m27-series/model/9365413. If a manufacturer offers drivers compatible with the installed macOS version, use them.

Those two suggestions and more are addressed and illustrated in Solve printing problems on Mac - Apple Support.

Third suggestion. That particular printer is not compatible with AirPrint — the only printers for which Apple incorporates native support. If and when you decide to replace it, choose among the following: About AirPrint - Apple Support. In addition to that I strongly recommend reviewing MrHoffman's excellent User Tip Which Printer Should I Buy? - Apple Community.

Dear John,

Good day to you please & thank you for taking the time for helping me out.

Sir, I've tried following every scenario that you have mentioned but still no print out.

For the mentioned weblink, somehow I couldn't find any support for Mac OS.

Can you please think of any other resolve ? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

This is a screenshot from that link:

I can go no further since I no longer have any macOS 10.15 "Catalina" or "Ventura" systems to confirm it, but from all the indications shown it should work on your Mac. The fact it indicates support for macOS 15 is also encouraging.

Please let me know if you continue to experience trouble getting it to work.
