No HP Drivers for Big Sur.

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!

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.
