to solve the problem I installed the HP Smart printer app on my Mac. While I use legacy Laserjet printers that require a USB connection to print, the HP Smart app seems to have solved the expired signed code issue with the previous printer drivers that the MacOS was balking at. The HP Smart app is more than I needed and in fact I don't use it as a Print device controller at this point, but the printers started printing again just fine. I am aware I have made some assumptions as to the exact cause and correction but decide to go to HP the Print vendor for a solution and it has worked.
