My printer has been rendered useless. Previously, I'd get the message "hpdm.framework will damage your computer". HP told me to uninstall the old drivers using their uninstall app, which I did. Now, I have to download a driver compatible with the latest macOS, which I could not find. Are there any printer drivers released from HP or from Apple???
This procedure worked for my HP Photosmart C4280 printer with the same problem: Delete the HP folder in ~Library/Printers then remove the printer from System Preferences.
Download the drivers from Apple Support

Reinstall software and add printer in System Preferences. I’m running Big Sur 11.0.1. Now I can scan and print again like before. Good luck!

Please determine the model designation of the HP device you are you using. You need the complete, exact model designation including all its letters numbers prefixes and suffixes. Then, take the appropriate action below.
Otherwise please contact HP or peruse their community help site, which recently become overwhelmed with reports substantially identical to yours: HP Printer Setup, Software & Drivers.
Apple recommends that you do not install any software that came with the device or from the manufacturer's website. If you did, remove that software, and then add the printer to Printers & Scanners again as AirPrint-enabled device. The existing device entry can and should then be removed.
As of this writing there are well over 6000 AirPrint-enabled printers and multifunction devices. Over 1000 of them are HP devices. I don't recommend any of them.
I am using it, although I do not own a HP device myself. But several of my customers do and they work just fine after following the above mentioned steps. Revoking their own certificate is entirely HP’s fault. Experiences like this add up to several other HP annoyances over the years though, which is why I usually recommend Brother printers instead.
For older printers there’s also the possibility to use the Gutenprint drivers instead.
To jcbeyer: Thank you for the driver link (https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1888?viewlocale=en_GB&locale=en_GB); I just downloaded and installed on my MacBook Big Sur 11.1 for my HP 4630, and it worked like a charm. I did not uninstall. Thanks again:)!
In System Preferences the option to scan is not present as it as prior to Big Sur.
Try opening Image Capture and see if you can scan from there. The scan button in Printers & Scanners before implies it is ICA compatible, but perhaps their software added the scan button. Or, their scan software provided a bridge to ICA. If the latter was the case, then Image Capture probably won’t work until you install HP Easy Print and Scan software.
I went through the whole process. After uninstalling the previous driver, there were no drivers available for macOS Big Sur, as per the post. I’ve tried drivers for the previous macOS, and of course they don’t work either.
I had the same problem with a really old Laserjet, ended up using the Gutenprint drivers: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/files/
And that is just because of HP thinking that revoking their driver certs was a good idea… 🙄
Repeat tomorrow, next week, or as often as necessary until you eventually decide to give up on HP and buy a printer / scanner / MFD from a company that actually knows what they're doing.
Pretty much... I had way too much work due for school and ended up pulling the trigger on an Epson.
I had the same problem, for me this helped:
IMPORTANT! It was necessary to UNINSTALL old software before. Without uninstall it did not work.
What is on my mind right now can't not share with the public. My wife just bought me a 2020 27” iMac for Christmas just couple days ago. The Big Sur came the minute I turn the iMac on, then, **** happened, my HP printer is not working?!?!?!? Since HP’s installed base is quite large that Apple should not have release the OS before the compatibility issues are fully prepared properly for the release!!!
Appreciated your input, however, Apple should not have released the new OS Big Sur before fully tested, after all, they should be aware of the huge HP installed base out there!!!!! Now it is like having a $2,000 new iMac with its arm cut off, would you use it???!?!?
Which basic brother printer would you recommend? I have two iMacs. The old one worked with HP 8600 for year's. The new one was upgraded to Big Sur only 5 minutes after plugged in fresh out of the box two days ago. I really don’t have room for another printer. how can I fall back on the Catalina OS?
Depends on your use case and wallet. I can impossibly select a single model for you. I am not from the US so best go to https://www.brother-usa.com/home/printers-fax and select one you like. I only know their laser printers (HL) and all in one (MFC/CDW) devices and they are good. But you do not need a new printer. Just follow the directions above and your HP will work in Big Sur. A Downgrade to Catalina involves deleting the Mac completely and restoring to the last Catalina-equipped TM backup.
I don't know if this is the case for all printers by hp, but, I needed to reinstall my HP M451DW colour laser jet.
It only offered me the Catalina driver (Im on Big Sur), it did have an option of changing the os. When clicking on it it showed various os's but at the top it had OS 11, I downloaded the driver it listed and now the printer is up and running 100%.
HTH

Downloaded the file and installed it - had to change permissions. When trying to print still got message "hpdm.framework will damage your computer", but after saying OK it did print but message was still there!!!
No HP Drivers for Big Sur.
