Fed up with the new MacBook Pro running on Catalina. Proving to be worst investment when it comes to trying to make a PRINT.

That is now listed as an HP Printer. for those of you who missed the recent dust-up over hp drivers, here is the essence:


------------------------------------------


From sources familiar with the matter, HP Inc asked Apple to revoke its printer driver code-signing certificates. It appears this request backfired as it left users unable to print. An HP Inc spokesperson said on Friday night:


We unintentionally revoked credentials on some older versions of Mac drivers. This caused a temporary disruption for those customers and we are working with Apple to restore the drivers. In the meantime, we recommend users experiencing this problem to uninstall the HP driver and use the native AirPrint driver to print to their printer.


HP supplied a new driver on Friday to fix the issue:


ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/HP_Quick_Start/osx/Installations/Essentials/hp-printer-essentials-S-5_14_8_4.pkg


However, that "fix" is producing this error for some users:


"Matterhorn.framework" will damage your computer…


If you're seeing that, try this fix. Go to System Preferences, select Printers and Scanners. Select your printer from the list then delete (-) it. Then add (+) your printer back and select the generic driver to use.


Update: HP Printer Software 5.1 should now be becoming available through Software Update to fix this issue.

Open >System Preferences>Software Update (Command R will reload and do a fresh check)


If you don't see it there, Apple now has it posted as a separate, manual download.

in the

system preferences > printers & scanners ...


delete your old Printer queues.

copy and paste this link to the browser URL bar:

when complete, double click on the download and follow directions to install.


Then download THIS:

Then use System Preferences > Printers & scanners...


and Add a printer, which will use the newly downloaded software.

Whats on my mind. Sorry but listening to Grant and deleting the printer out of the printers in system preferences has deleted any chance of downloading the latest printer(s) The download failed to load after updating / reading files, download unsuccessful, consult printer providers for unavailable drivers. Even Grant would at this point be fed up.
