Hello Lindenbaum,
I've just got rid of it by:
- Using Finder to go to "Library/LaunchAgents" and moving the most recently added and suspicious looking file to the bin.
- Did the same here "Library/LaunchDemons"
- And here "~Library/LaunchAgents"
- I also went to "Applications" and sorted by most recently added to see if anything suspicious has been added, and removed that.
- Then I restarted my Mac and it's fixed!
Good luck!

Louisa63, try what I described a few posts above. Long detailed description. It has worked completely on 2 computers I tried, after failing with other methods.

This morning an alert followed - a new release of the HP printer drivers came out that fixed this issue immediately on installation. I suspect a lot of people had this problem.
Would be helpful to know what "update" you're referencing.
This worked for me. Thank you!
Thanks, scleere. Glad to hear it.
That on the problem could go back to a September update. Today Apple updated my printer that I use with my iMac and the error message has disappeared the printer works but not well with my Gmail
Uninstalling and then reinstalling the HP drivers via the HP Easy Start software worked for me.
DON'T GO DELETING STUFF FROM YOU MAC WILLY-NILLY!
HP Easy Start will work only if there are new drivers for newer printers. For thousands of older printers, the update broke the ability to use them.
Steve, did you try the “My printer isn’t shown” on the 123.hp.com page, rather than trying to put it in the search box?
Oops sorry: the printer is linked to Time Capsule via USB cable, not Ethernet.

Sorengo, yes. See my answer before, I recommend the 2nd suggestion first!
Did not help. Certificate is not valid. HP will need to update the driver.
Steve, I just wondered because I was never asked for a printer model option.
