I apoligize - I just got myself a MacBook Air and wanted to set up my printer. It is an older model, a hp OfficeJet K80 xi. With my previous computers this step always seems easy. But with the new Mac I cannot get it working. Can somebody please walk me through the different steps - thank you - amo

HP never wrote a Mac driver for that model, and of course have no incentive to do so now.

Check with the Gutenprint project to see if they make a compatible driver for it, otherwise go buy a new(er) printer.
