Printer Software Not Found On Mac

  

Hi DP812,

  • The control-P function doesn't work - printer not found. Only the app works, BUT IT NEVER OPENS. (And half the time claims it's not finished being installed,.sigh.) Taking the printer back and never getting another HP product. Such a shame - pretty sure the printer itself is fine.
  • If the installer cannot complete the printer driver installation. I cannot start the installer. Make sure you do not use the built-in Windows (inbox) driver (QL-5 series only) To allow all the functions to work correctly, use the latest printer driver for your operating system instead of the built-in (inbox) driver.
  • Aug 20, 2018  It sets your default printer as the last printer you last printed to—in other words, whenever you select a printer and print to it, Windows 10 makes that your default printer. To change this, head to Settings Devices Printers & Scanners and uncheck the “Let Windows manage my default printer.
  • On your Mac, choose Apple menu System Preferences, then click Printers & Scanners. Open Printers & Scanners preferences for me. Select your printer in the list, then click the Remove button. Click the Add button, and if a pop-up menu appears, choose Add Printer or Scanner. A dialog appears listing any IP, shared, and Open Directory printers on your local network.
