Hp Color Laserjet Cp1215 Driver For Mac Os X 10.13
In 2009 I got a HP Color LaserJet CP1215. Unfortunately this printer is not compatible with OS X. Three years ago I managed to install the printer by using open source tools and drivers. However, since I got a new MacBook Pro I needed to reinstall the printer and, of course, some things changed.
In order to remember the stuff I just did I will now shortly describe the process. However, I will not provide support if you struggle installing the printer.
If you upgraded to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and your printer stopped working please see the update at the end of this article.
- You need GCC to compile C code. In my opinion the best way to get GCC is to install Xcode from the Mac App Store. In Xcode you have to install the Command Line Tools (Preferences > Downloads > Components).
- You also need Homebrew to install some libraries.
- Open a Terminal window and install
wgetandgnu-sed. - Download and install Ghostscript, Foomatic RIP and HIPJS for Mac OS X.

Update August 26th, 2012: OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
When I upgraded to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, the printer stopped working. However, I could easily resolve this by repeating steps 4 and 5. I did not uninstall anything, I simply downloaded the latest version of Ghostscript, Foomatic RIP, HIPJS and foo2zjs.
