Hi 8491_7780,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! It looks like you have a question about a pop-up when installing some HP printer software, and we'd like to help.
We found this page with an entry from an HP Support Agent explaining the notice you're seeing.
Is SWHelper part of the HP software package?
The Gatekeeper info is correct, as described by the HP Support Agent. Here's info about Gatekeeper:
You can also check if your printer is AirPrint compatible. If so, you can use your Wi-Fi to print from your Mac without installing software, and also print from iOS devices.
Take care!
