How to Install HP Printer via 123.hp.com on Mac

I recently completed a 123.hp.com Install using 123.hp.com/setup on my Mac, and this quick guide shows the exact steps I followed for a smooth HP printer setup with the right HP driver download.

Preparation checklist

• Printer model and serial number handy

• Wi‑Fi name and password (preferably 2.4 GHz)

• Mac computer with admin rights

• USB cable (optional for wired setup)

• Latest HP driver download ready if auto‑install fails

Short step‑by‑step install (Mac)

• Turn on the printer and connect it to power.

• On your Mac, open Safari and go to 123.hp.com/setup.

• Enter your printer model, select macOS, and click Download for the HP driver.

• Open the downloaded file (.dmg) and run the installer.

• Follow on‑screen prompts to connect the printer via Wi‑Fi or USB.

• Complete the installation and print a test page to confirm the HP printer setup.

One real problem I faced and how I fixed it

During installation, my printer didn’t appear in the list because my firewall was blocking connections. I temporarily disabled the firewall and re‑ran the installer, and the printer connected successfully.

Quick troubleshooting

• Printer not found: Restart printer and router; check Wi‑Fi band.

• Driver won’t install: Update macOS and re‑download the driver.

• USB not detected: Try another cable or port.
