I have gone through your Post and would like to help A really great platform for posting all your questions and finding solutions. I know it seems that this seems like a laptop issue and not the printer, but I am getting no help from the Apple support forum and I was hoping someone from HP had come across this same to HP Support Forums. I did not upgrade across multiple versions. I do not wait, so the update to 10.13.6 was from whatever was the version immediately before it. I update this device whenever a new version of OS X or any software on the MacBook needs it. I can print to this printer using AirPrint from my iPhone 7 and iPhone X.Īnd lastly, I noticed while entering this ticket, that my update history in the App Store is empty. I also tried using the HP Easy Start software to install the printer, the only difference is that running the process is automated via the software, but the same setting windows all pop open, and the same error message is the result. I took my MacBook to my friend's house and tried to connect his printer. This happens independent of the access mode: whether I select the webserver on the printer, the HP drivers, or the AirPrint options. Now when I try to put them back, this is what happens:ġ) The printer, which is on my home network, shows up as the only nearby printerģ) It ends with the error message 'Cannot communicate with the printer at this time' I reset the print system within High Sierra, which was mentioned in both Apple and HP support forums. I checked the following:Ģ) The driver software is the most current version on the MacBook (re-installed HP Easy Start) I perused both the Apple and HP forums for several weeks. The printer, an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus, never even lit up.

When I would try to print, the document would show up in the printer queue, sit at 41% complete for anywhere from 5-10 minutes, then disappear. My MacBook Air (A1466) stopped printing when it was updated to MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6 a few months back.
