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!

Yes.
Edit: You are all right.
I apologize Rolla, I was frustrated and out of line. I know it’s user beware. You were helping people.
This problem has totally disabled printing on my 2017 iMac with Catalina 10.15.7 and a HP printer.
Help
No one here can help you. You’re going to have to do this yourself or hire someone to do it for you. The solutions and how-to’s are in the 21 pages of this thread. Read how to do it and do it.
tcmeyers, this worked for me! thank you :)
Any new updates on how to solve this problem? I can't print except through my e-print email. This is very annoying! Didn't have the problem until I installed Catalina 10.15.7. on my MacBook Pro!!
I installed the update directly from HP - the Apple update got corrupted (5.1) so we just replace with the HP version and works fine
Good news
I did all the steps and downloaded the HP Easy Start and got this message "Safari can’t open the file “HP Easy Start” because the file is still being downloaded." NOW WHAT
DOWNLOAD DRIVERS FROM HTTPS..... AND WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN IT I GOT THIS MESSAGE "Safari can’t open the file “HP Easy Start” because the file is still being downloaded." I AM SO FRUSTRATED!!!
Thank you for all the kind help. My IMac and hope is ok for me, except printing in gmail only get right 1/2 of page. I can get around that so will leave it alone.
Lindenbaum
Thanks for all the help. I deleted all the HP files and then added my printer back in like it was a new printer on my MacBook. That seems to be working😊
The only solution I can suggest is the most expensive and that is invest in another printer any brand but HP - that's what I am going to do when I can afford one.
This worked great and my printer is working too. Many thanks.
