Since more than 40 years there are HP printers that are connected to Apple computers. It is a simple thing: Some document is in the computer, it should get printed on paper. Happened in this specific Apple\/HP combination many billions of times. HP\u2019s market cap is around 35,470,000,000 dollars right now. That of Apple is 3,400,000,000,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two devices connecting for this super simple thing. Should be easy in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IT IS NOT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fucking not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest macOS Sonoma 15.1 will not work reliably with the HP Color LaserJet Pro 4202dn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Printing a document multiple times will only work when you open the print dialog as many times and print one page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The printer insists that it wants to double-sided print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spent hours with this. Tried everything. It did not work out of the box. Neither does it now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again: All I want is to print a simple text document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enshitification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here it is not intended. But infuriating. I love my MacBook Pro. The design for the HP printer I personally like. The hardware of it seems to be built right. But the software that moves the data to the printer does not work with the software of the printer. A task that should be solved since more than 40 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
