Currently, this model lacks official driver support from HP for modern versions of macOS (specifically on Apple Silicon/M-series architecture). As the DeskJet 2338 is a host-based printer utilizing the PCL 3 GUI / LIDIL protocol, it has proven difficult to interface with via standard generic drivers. I have attempted to use the existing *HP DeskJet 900 series* and *2130* Gutenprint drivers, but have not yet achieved successful printing. *Request:* - Is there an existing driver or PPD within the current Gutenprint development tree known to work with the 2338/2300 series? - If not, are there any experimental drivers I could test to help provide logs or feedback for future support? *System Details:* - *Printer:* HP DeskJet 2338 (USB connection) - *OS:* macOS Tahoe 26.4 - *Architecture:* Apple Silicon (M-series) Thank you for your time and for your incredible work on the Gutenprint project.
