HP Printer Drivers not installing

When I download that file and try to open it, I get a message "HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.pkg can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software." Did you disable Gatekeeper?

Also, on my printer's product page on HP.com, there is an HP Easy Start app for Big Sur. It finds my printer, but it says there is no software available for it. I guess it doesn't yet have a driver for Big Sur.

My printer is the LaserJet Pro P1102w.

I opened System Preferences > Security & Privacy and allowed the installation package to run. I did try HP Easy Start. It found my wifi printer but was not able to find the driver for it. I think the only way now is to run the installation package to install the driver.

Hi,

When I try to download the file from the FTP site, it keeps bombing out with the error:

"The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.pkg” can’t be read or written.

(Error code -36)"

Is it just a matter of keeping trying, or is anyone else having the same issue?

Thanks.

Hello, I am having trouble with HP Photosmart D7160 printer after Big Sur update. Printer worked flawlessly before the update. I uninstalled and then tried to reinstall new drivers using HP EasyStart. No luck - said to go to HP site. HP site says drivers for MacOS 11.0.1 not available. Uggghhhhhhhhh. I just need my printer to work. I am not computer savvy - so would appreciate any help in resolving this issue. Thanks in advance.

This is the HP article describing how to fix recent printer issues. Importantly, it suggests you need to Un-install both your Printer Queues AND the HP Printer software, suing their un-Installer.

" The Apple way" (which you should try first) is that you attempt to "Add-A-Printer", and it finds and downloads the Drivers for you.

Install BigSur a few days ago. Now my scanner does not work (now fine on my husband's Window's laptop) and neither does my Brother printer. I am working from home and really need a printer and do not have hours to solve this. Currently working 50+ hours a week. I am furious with Apple. This is disgraceful (at anytime but especially during a pandemic when so many of us are working from home).

I have downloaded a Brother driver but cannot add it. Have tried two things recommended in this thread and they do not work. Solution - move it to husband's machine but this is not acceptable.

We are Apple customers not free 'testers' of your lousy software update.

After two days of trying to resolve the problem this solution worked perfectly! I did have to allow the HP installer to run in the Security and Privacy settings.

Thank you so much. My DeskJet 9800 is now working again with no security errors!

Your link for Drivers 5.1 appears to have a problem. Try this one instead:

I am having the same issue trying to install the HP drivers on macOS 11.0.

Are you running Big Sur?

Like the others, I am unable to even select a destination. I believe the installer is doing a check for macOS version and likely blocks install on macOS 11.

Me too.

After much angst, I used “Pacifist” to install the v5.1 driver files in their “default locations”. My printer and scanner now work as before.
