In 2009 I got a HP Color LaserJet CP1215. Unfortunately this printer is not compatible with OS X. Six years ago I managed to install the printer by using open source tools and drivers. In 2012 I got a new MacBook Pro and needed to install the printer again and I wrote about the process on my old blog. Now three more years have passed and when OS X 10.10 Yosemite came out I decided to do a clean install, but I didn't install the printer because I didn't need it. A few month have passed since then and now I needed to use the printer again and thus I had to install it again.

This is part tutorial, part reminder for myself on how to install this fucking printer.
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
wget
and gnu-sed
.Download and install Foomatic RIP and HIPJS for Mac OS X. The page also includes a download for Ghostscript, but I used Homebrew to install it. The links state that Foomatic RIP and HIPJS are for OS X 10.8, but for me they work fine on 10.10 Yosemite.
Next you need to install
foo2zjs
. Terminal:Open the CUPS web interface: http://localhost:631

There are open source drivers that kind of work. They're not as good as official HP drivers, of course, but better than nothing. It's not easy, so I have a guide to getting them installed on my site, and will try to answer any technical questions in the comments section. Getting an HP Color LaserJet CP1215 working on a Mac.
