Hi Macdrizeee,
We'll be glad to go over this with you. To start, you'll want to make sure that your printer is added and set up properly. This article shows how to do this: Add a printer to your printer list so you can use it on Mac - Apple Support
"Add a USB printer
For most USB printers, all you have to do is update your software and then connect the printer to your Mac. macOS automatically detects the printer and downloads any necessary software. For other printers, you may have to complete a few steps to add the printer.
- On your Mac, update your printer software: Check with your printer’s manufacturer to see if any updates are available for your printer model.
- 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.
- Connect your printer: Connect the USB cable to your Mac. If you see a message prompting you to download new software, make sure to download and install it.
- Important: If your Mac has a single USB-C port, use a multiport adapter. Connect the printer, then connect a USB-C cable to a power supply to prolong the battery life of your Mac. See Use USB-C cables with your Mac.

If you still have issues, you may need to reach out to HP to see if you need any particular software to work with their printer.
We hope this helps you out.
Cheers.
