HP LaserJet P1102 Drivers for macOS Tahoe 26.0.1

This guide provides a solution for installing HP LaserJet P1102 drivers on macOS Tahoe (26.0.1+). The official HP drivers refuse to install on newer macOS versions due to a version check in the installer. With a simple modification to bypass that check, you can get your printer working again on Tahoe.

This is a modified Version for MacOs Tahoe originally was made for macOS Sequoia check repo here: https://gist.github.com/pavelbinar/e14bb47f98768d83828bdee89a47490e#file-install-driver-sh made by : pavelbinar https://gist.github.com/pavelbinar

Anyways There you have it for Tahoe.

Supported Printer Models

• HP LaserJet P1102
• HP LaserJet Pro P1102
• HP LaserJet Pro P1102w

Manual Installation Steps

1. Download the official HP Mac Printer Driver (e.g. from the HP driver .dmg).
2. Extract the HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.pkg file from the HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.dmg file.
3. From a terminal, go to the folder where you extracted the .pkg file and run:

   pkgutil --expand HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.pkg drivers
   

4. Open the drivers/Distribution file in any text editor.
5. Change the fragment that says system.version.ProductVersion, '15.0' to system.version.ProductVersion, '27.0'.
6. Save the file.
7. From the terminal, run:

   pkgutil --flatten drivers HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers-tahoe.pkg
   

8. Optionally remove the drivers folder, and the original .dmg and .pkg files if you no longer need them.
9. The file HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers-tahoe.pkg is your new installer that works with macOS Tahoe 26.0.1.

Automated Installation

For an automated installation, place the install-driver.sh script in the same directory as your HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.pkg file (or in a folder where you have already expanded the package so that Distribution is in the current directory) and run:

chmod +x install-driver.sh
./install-driver.sh

The script will perform the version-check modification and create HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers-tahoe.pkg. You can then install the driver by double-clicking that package.

Notes

• This solution should work with other HP printer models and installers that use the same kind of version check.
• It may work with future macOS releases by adjusting the version number in the Distribution file (use a value higher than your macOS version so the check does not block installation).
• No changes are made to the actual driver files, only to the installer’s version check.
• The installer’s Distribution file may also restrict to x86_64; on Apple Silicon you might need to adjust that if the package otherwise supports your Mac.

Disclaimer

This is an unofficial workaround and is not officially supported by HP. Use at your own risk.
