Can no longer print to a HP CP2025

The HP CP2025 does not support AirPrint, which is the easiest way to connect to a printer.

There are no current drivers from HP, bu you may be able to set up your HP Color LaserJet CP2025 on macOS using a generic driver because HP.

Steps to Connect and Print

• Connect the printer: Plug the printer into your Mac using a USB cable, or connect it to your local network via an Ethernet cable. 
• Remove old entries: Go to System Settings (or System Preferences) > Printers & Scanners, select your old CP2025 entry if present, and click Remove or Delete.
• Add the printer: Click Add Printer, Scanner, or Fax (the + button).
• Choose Driver: Select your CP2025 from the list. In the "Use" or "Aka" drop-down menu, choose  Generic PostScript Printer.
• Finish setup: Click Add to complete the installation

If that does not work, you may be able to use the HP Print & Support app:

Indeed. After my reply to this thread, that became apparent.

For the benefit of others coming across this thread, Rosetta 2 (the macOS engine for running Intel apps on Apple Silicon) is needed for some old printer drivers. Even if it was installed on your Mac previously, the upgrade to macOS 27 Golden Gate removed it for some users (me, included). If Rosetta 2 is not installed and you launch an Intel app, you’ll be prompted to install it. That is what happened here, when I launched an app that I had used frequently on Tahoe then launched for the first time after upgrading to Golden Gate.

That prompt does not happen with a printer driver. Accordingly, it may help to install Rosetta 2 using Terminal. Apple provides instructions for that HERE. Note that if this enables your old printer drivers to work, you’ve only put off the inevitable. As the dialog box above indicates, macOS 27 is the last version that will support Intel-only apps (and printer drivers). If you upgrade to macOS 28, you will need to find another solution – either a new printer (get one that supports AirPrint), or for example setting up a Raspberry Pi as a print server (not too hard and plenty of tutorials, but the cost will be similar to an inexpensive printer).

HP discontinued support for this printer a while back, and I don’t see AirPrint listed.

Which means no drivers from HP, and no generic printing support.

I do see an HP rep suggesting availability of AirPrint here, though:

…and a second HP rep suggesting no AirPrint:

• https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/LaserJet-Printing/CP2025/td-p/7999963

Which means you’re going to have to figure out whether this printer has AirPrint or not. I suspect no AirPrint.

If you decide to replace, ypu absolutely want a printer with AirPrint, and with TWAIN and ICA for scanners:

I was able to use the generic Post-Script driver. Interesting that it was supported with macOS Tahoe though.

The best fix for now, is to just install Rosetta.

"The main difference between the HP Color LaserJet CP2025 and the CP2025dn is that the dn model includes automatic two-sided printing (duplexing) and built-in Ethernet networking, whereas the base model lacks these features."

Note: I'm currently using a USB connection.

The earlier-referenced printer was CP2025, and this indicates CP2025dn.

i’ve now spent quite a while looking at the wrong printer, apparently.
