After upgrade, Computer doesn't recognize my printer

My MacBook Pro upgraded to Ventura 13.1. Now it won't recognize my HP Deskjet 1513 printer. I deleted the printer from my computer but now can't figure out how to add the printer.


MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

Hi r0ketD0g-printer,


Below you'll find some information from the Add a printer to your printer list so you can use it on Mac resource:


"Add a Wi-Fi or network printer

If your Mac and printer are already connected to the same Wi-Fi network, the printer might be available to you without any setup. To check, choose File > Print, click the Printer pop-up menu, choose Nearby Printers or Printers & Scanners settings, then choose your printer. If you don’t see your printer, you can add it.

  1. On your Mac, update your printer software: Check with your printer’s manufacturer to see if any updates are available for your printer model.

If you have an AirPrint printer, you don’t need to check for software updates.

2. Prepare your printer: Use the instructions that came with your printer to unpack the printer, install ink or toner, and add paper. Turn on the printer and make sure it’s not displaying any errors.

3. Connect your printer: Follow the instructions that came with the printer to connect it to the network. 

If you have a Wi-Fi printer, you might need to connect the printer to your Mac with a USB cable to set up Wi-Fi printing. After connecting the printer to your Mac, install the Mac software that came with the printer and use the printer’s setup assistant to connect the printer to your Wi-Fi network. After setting up, you can disconnect the cable from your printer and Mac, and the printer should remain connected to the Wi-Fi network. See the Apple Support article Connect an AirPrint printer to a Wi-Fi network.

4. Add the printer to your list of available printers: Choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click Printers & Scanners  in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)"


You can also find drivers and support for that printer directly on HP's website here: Software and drivers for HP Deskjet 1513 All-in-One Printer

We hope this helps.


Take care.
