[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1560080, member: 46727"] Apparently, the driver which was downloaded does not match what the system thinks your HP LaserJet Pro model 1132 requires which is why it does not show up in the driver drop down selection. Generally, it's best to get the driver directly from HP if it's available. Sometimes HP will refer you back to Apple and say it's built into the system. Usually, that means the printer is supported but there are times when the Apple driver data base (which they get from HP) is not up to date. Let me see if I can find another driver for your model. It's possible there is a third party driver which may work..... I just checked both the "Open Printing site" and the "Gutenprint" site and there are no third party drivers available for your model. You may be able to use the printer in a VM with Windows drivers but that might not be the best solution for what you're trying to do. [/QUOTE]
