HP 5000n Printer and High Sierra
Posted: Tue Jan 23, 2018 8:04 am
My old 2008 Mac Pro died. That chip set did not support past El Capitan. It took significant and greatly appreciated help from Wiggy and Motet to get my HP LaserJet 5000n to print in the move from Yosemite to El Capitan back in early 2016.
Despite following those 2016 instructions for manually configuring IP addresses, my new Mac Pro under High Sierra 10.13.2 refuses to print. It “cannot find the printer” configured with the address 192.168.2.1.
I suspect printer driver 2.1 is the culprit. Driver 19.13 did work under El Capitan on the old Mac Pro but I can’t find 19.13 anywhere to download it.
But also, the configuration of the 5000n printer menus have changed to the point I can’t follow the old instructions. I must be missing a setting…
Does anybody have a LaserJet 5000n or even a 5200 printing under High Sierra? What driver are your using? The posts here concerning the 5200 look promising, but the 5200 is a more sophisticated machine than the 5000.
