Samsung Printer - “BasicOptionPDE.bundle” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software

Hi. I get this message every time I try to print to my Samsung M2070. I click on OK and can then print as usual. However, the message is a minor irritant:

I realise that HP/Samsung need to update the driver (I believe for M1 Macs) but since I'm able to print and scan using the outdated driver without problems, is there anyway to make this message disappear?

Thanks in advance for any advice/assistance!

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.1

Hi Veganmod

I found that simply deleting the file solved the problem. It is here:

Macintosh HD/Library/Printers/Samsung/UPD/PDEs

After wasting a week on my own trying various tricks… I called AppleCare but even they did not know to delete this. In a last ditch attempt, I searched the internets for BasicOpsionPDE.bundle and this came up. Thanks!

Hi. Thanks for your reply.

The universal driver is the one I downloaded. It's great that it works, but annoying that the “BasicOptionPDE.bundle” message appears every time I print.

Like I said, it's only a minor irritation having to click twice, once to clear the message and then to print but I can live with it.

Hi. Thanks, I saw those before posting but neither resolved my problem.

I guess I will have to live with the irritating message until HP/Samsung update the driver.

At least I can still use my printer, which is the most important thing.

In 2016 Samsung sold its printer business, including patents, to HP. Samsung printers are currently listed on HP's site. but HP is responsible and maybe they do not like to support older Samsung printers.

Henry's fix also worked for me for a Xerox B210 printer (file was at /Library/Printers/Xerox/UPD/PDEs/BasicOptionPDE.bundle).

i agree, it's a low level irritant. BUT, Samsung have been talking about updating these drivers for too long now. I'm pretty sure my next printer will not be a Samsung.
