HP Easy Start Pro
HP Easy Start Pro is HP's guided printer setup and installation utility for macOS. It automates the discovery of connected HP printers and downloads the necessary drivers and software to prepare a Mac for printing and scanning. The app walks users through initial configuration steps, network printer setup, and installation of printer-specific utilities. It is a common first-step tool for anyone setting up a new HP printer on macOS or troubleshooting driver installation issues.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionWe found limited information confirming the Apple Silicon status of HP Easy Start Pro itself. HP does offer native Apple Silicon support for some of its printer utilities — notably HP Utility has been confirmed to ship a Universal Binary. For the current status of HP Easy Start Pro, we recommend checking HP's official driver and software download page or contacting HP support directly to confirm whether your printer has a native macOS build available. If HP Easy Start Pro remains Intel-only, the modern alternative is HP Smart (available on the App Store and as a direct download), which is actively maintained by HP and supports Apple Silicon natively, offering wireless printing, scanning and printer management from a single interface.
