HP recommends using to automatically identify and install the correct scanner and printer drivers for your system. Navigate to 123.hp.com on your Mac. Enter M1536dnf as your model number. Download and run the HP Easy Start utility.
For users running relatively modern versions of macOS (Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura, or Sonoma), HP directs users away from traditional driver downloads and toward the utility. This is the most "official" method to get the full feature set.
To summarize: There is that works on modern macOS. Instead, Apple’s built-in Image Capture driver provides scanning functionality—provided you add the printer via IPP or AirPrint correctly. If that fails, VueScan is your ultimate fallback.
USB-connected printer prints but won’t scan.
