Have installed HP 3500 printer driver on iMac, but can't get iMac to recognize that the printer exists so I can select it as my default printer😡
Got a tip for us?

OK - there is a difference between postscript network printers and non-postscript ones -- because the printing system on OS X (CUPS) is based on postscript. Your printer isn't a postscript printer, so you need a CUPS-capable driver to use the CUPS-provided standard network protocols. HP doesn't provide CUPS-capable drivers for non-postscript printers.
You will have to use a third-party CUPS driver for your printer. I suggest hpijs + foomatic + ghostscript:

When you come back with questions, tell us the details of how the printer is connected to the network, and what protocol you are using.

CUPS Driver
Sorry to ask what may be an obvious question, but will loading that driver allow me to print across a network to the HP 3500?
