HP Laserjet Pro MFP M127 printer - Offline

[Robert McNewbie]

Mrs. has this printer connected to her Thinkpad and works ok. I used it a few times (usb cable) with my 2018 MBP13 TB (w Big Sur or Catalina not so sure anymore).
My MBP13 M1 did install it.
When I connect it (with USB cable) the "Printers &Scanners" window shows: Idle
When I send a PDF to be printed: cycles to In Use then Offline 🤔 but without printing.

Did you face this issue? Did you found or recommend any solution to make it print? (other than send the document to Mrs.)

That might be the best solution. You can turn on printer sharing in System Preferences->Sharing. I use this with my M1 MBA for an old inkjet.


Edit: DOH! I need to read more carefully. She is using Windows on a Thinkpad.
