Can't get your HP printer to work right on your computer? Maybe this HP Utility Mac Download Tutorial will help.

Have you done a clean install or accidentally deleted the HP printer application called HP Utility on your Mac computer? You can still print using your HP printer with Apple’s AirPrint. But if you want to use all of the printer’s other features like scanning or print via email, then you will need to install and configure the HP Utility Mac application.

Normally this wouldn’t be an issue. Most companies let you easily download software from their website. However, HP does not let you download the HP Utility app from its site. However, this HP Utility Mac download and install tutorial will help you solve this problem.

Easy HP Utility Mac Download Tutorial

Here are some easy HP Utility download and install instructions for Mac OS X and the macOS. Just follow this tutorial step-by-step and post a comment at the end if you have nay questions.

Select System Preferences from Under the Apple Menu

Depending on what version of Mac OS X or macOS that you are using, the icon will saw either “Print & Scan” or “Printers & Scanners.”

Click the Plus button to add a new HP printer

Even if you already see your HP printer, it might have been added incorrectly using AirPrint. In this screenshot, you can see I have (2) variations of my HP 8600 printer added. But they are wrong, I accidentally added them using AirPrint. I suggest deleting all of your listed HP printers and then click on the “+” button to add a new printer to your computer. It will be less confusing in the long run.





Select your HP Printer

After you click on the “+” button, all available printers will be displayed. In the screenshot above I’ve selected the HP Officejet Pro 8600. This is just an example for this tutorial. Please select your specific HP printer from the list.

If you don’t see your printer listed, then make sure that it’s turned on and that you are on the right WiFi network.

Click on the “Use” drop-down menu and select your printer model. Do NOT select AirPrint.

Make sure that you do NOT select AirPrint. If you select AirPrint, then you won’t be able to use any of your HP printer’s extra features like scanning and faxing. You will only be able to print. Selecting AirPrint will defeat the entire purpose of this tutorial.

NERD NOTE: Apple created a wireless printing technology called AirPrint in 2010 to allow iOS devices to print to printers on a local network without having to install printer-specific drivers. The feature was later rolled out to the macOS desktop platform in 2012 allowing Apple computers, talents, and smartphones to easily send documents to printers without installing any extra software.

Click the Add button.
