HP Photosmart C6380 all-in-one printer drivers considered as malware by Big Sur

With the software update to Big Sur I cannot use my printer anymore. It says the drivers will cause damage to my Mac and that I have to delete them (malware). HP doesn't foresee these printer drivers anymore. Why does the upgrade suddenly considers these drivers as malware.

My partner hasn't done the update to Big Sur yet and can still use the printer. I would like Apple to solve my problem for I won't buy a new printer each time the software must be updated.

Kind regards,

Philippe
