Do not feel alone here, there is currently a HP issue…And we are flooded with similar complaints



Update: HP Printer Software 5.1 should now be becoming available through Software Update to fix this issue.

(2220 UTC 23 October 2020)


Open >System Preferences>Software Update (Command R will reload and do a fresh check)



If you have continued issue:

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/HP_Quick_Start/osx/Installations/Essentials/hp-printer-essentials-S-5_14_8_4.pkg


download link above at the ftp address. Install that, then remove printer and reinstall.



If it is listed as AirPrint printer, delete the existing printer in

> System Preferences> Printers & Scanners, and add it again, select AirPrint.



Connect an AirPrint printer to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support.
