checked bluetooth on my computer and the printer was not lissted

Noted! Thank you!
Some HP printers have a built-in Bluetooth radio that supports pairing with a computer, mobile phone, or tablet to enable wireless printing.
Turn on the Bluetooth radio on the printer. Depending on the model, press the Bluetooth button , or navigate to the Setup or Network menu to access Bluetooth settings.
Open the Bluetooth settings on the computer or mobile device, and then confirm the feature is turned on.
Select your printer from the list of found devices, or follow any steps to add the printer as a new device.
Open the item you want to print, open the Print menu, and then select your printer to print.

*****, is there any chance your printer was connected via Wi-Fi but not via Bluetooth?

Customer Replay

I really don't know
How do I find out

The model of your printer is connected via Wi-Fi usually. If you do have Wi-Fi at home, I can definitely help with connecting your printer to your Mac!

good

First of all, please connect the printer to the same network that the Mac is connected to:
On your printer, open the Setup, Network, or Wireless settings menu, select Wireless Setup Wizard, and then follow the instructions to select the network name and enter the password.
