"HP Scanner3 will harm your computer"

a) running Catalina 10.15.7, up to date

b) HP printer bought at Apple store now (Oct) gives me a "HP Scanner3 will harm your computer" message when trying to use "HP Scan"

c) I can print to it

d) I can "scan to email" from it

e) I can't run the HP Scan app (scan to Mac)


I understand this seems to be some pee contest between HP & Apple ? I would have thought they would work it out by now. When I go to the HP page it says basically drivers aren't updated anymore, or go to "page not found pages". Apple has a few links, which are "archived" (including one from Nov 2020.


Can someone explain in simple words what this issue is, is there a point in thinking they will resolve it ? what to do ? I'm a little leary of monkeying around until after I print out this years Tax returns .......
