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 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… 🙄
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

I Just download the HP smart put it on my dock it is working with iOS 11 Big Sur not only it prints, scan, and a bonus, faxes as well I’m so happy!!!!
I had the same problem, for me this helped:
IMPORTANT! It was necessary to UNINSTALL old software before. Without uninstall it did not work.
I just deleted hp folder from system library and installed new hp driver software from apple site https://support.apple.com/kb/DL907?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
now it working again
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:)!
I just found this HP OS driver 5.1 dated Dec 22,
HP Printer Drivers v5.1 for macOS
would this be the latest? I think I remember the HP certification is 4.3 they messed up on?!??
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.
I'm using a 2020 MacBook / Big Sur with LaserJet MFP m283cdw printer along with HPEasyScan and HPSmart with no problems. I had an earlier issue having set up the MacBook to use same model printer in another location which worked fine there, but then would not work with the printer at this location. Two links below - the upper one is what I think resolved the problem - but it did require a complete clean reinstall. During attempts to fix, I also tried second attached link - one of the two did resolve the problem, but am not certain which of the two.
I also have a record of having downloaded this when trying to solve the problem. https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/HP_Quick_Start/osx/Installations/Essentials/ASU/HewlettPac...
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.
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!!!
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.
No HP Drivers for Big Sur.
