Hi, I'm a Mac user (OSX 10.15.7) and I'd like to know how to run HP on my MB Air.

Thanks a lot !

I think you would probably need to run Windows in Parallels or
VirtualBox to do that. I don't think Macs will run any 32-bit apps any
more, and it looks like solutions such as Wine and Darwine will not work
on recent MacOS.

Cheers,
Martin

Hi,
I've regrouped all the posts about Hot Potatoes on Mac under the label "HPonMac". You should read them. There's not a lot but the last ones (subject "FI in Wine") shows that Sabine succeeded in installing HP with PlayOnMac. Perhaps she could help you to do it.

Cheers,
Agnès S.

I’m running HP 7 on my new Mac Book Pro 2021 using Wine- yes I have had a few teething problems with it, I can’t track down the cfg files easily for example but otherwise I haven’t had too many problems.
