<\/p>\nSome clients have reported problems with HP laser printers failing to print. Sometimes there\u2019s an error. Other times, the print job just disappears into the ether. It\u2019s unclear why this is happening or how widespread it is, but here\u2019s a workaround that can help. Create a new printer configuration by clicking the + button in System Preferences > Printers & Scanners and selecting your printer in the list. Then, from the Use pop-up menu, choose something other than the default Secure AirPrint driver. We\u2019ve had the most luck with Generic PostScript Printer. Both the old and new configurations will be available when printing, so if one doesn\u2019t work, try again with the other one.<\/p>\n
