print problems with recipes online

I have an HP Envy 5660 which is in good operating condition. I used to be able to print recipes from my Mac from online websites but no more. When I click print, now I get one blank page. This has become very common in the past few months. I don't know what to do about it. I tried saving the recipe as PDF but it didn't save the recipe and the PDF was blank. I saved the recipe to my TextEdit but it saved in way too many pages and very large print. Does anybody have any solutions? Thank you.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.14

For assistance with HP printers, contact HP.


There’s a printer firmware update from several years ago; from July 2020. If that’s not loaded, load it.


The HP doc here isn’t all that good, unfortunately. The HP doc:

… http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04425658.pdf


I’d see if you can perform the firmware update from the embedded web server, as described on page 64. The embedded web servers in those printers can sometimes update the firmware. Of not, you’ll need to load and use the HP tools for that printer.


Assuming a wireless model, that printer does use AirPrint, and I’d use AirPrint for the connection and not the vendor drivers:

If you are still using the vendor printer drivers, load the most recent drivers from HP, and reset the macOS printing system:

If the recipe websites’ T&Cs permit it, the https://cooked.wiki/ website can be used to provide a formatted recipe, too.
