What is the best app to use to print to 2023 IMAC with MAC OS 27 installed from an iPhone 12 & 13? Also the best app available to find drivers for HP LaserJet Printer P1006 installed on the above IMAC?

The Laserjet P1006 is a very, very old printer (2007 era) ... HP's app and drivers for the LaserJet P1006 are not compatible with macOS 12 and newer. I urge great caution about any app that claims it can install drivers for one of these old printers.


You could try installing the printer on your Mac as a Generic Postscript Printer or Generic PCL Printer. If one of those choices works then you should be able to enable Printer Sharing on your Mac

I don't use Any third party app. Just set up the wifi printer and use the iPhones native airprint functionality

The HP LaserJet Printer P1006 is an old, USB only printer.
