My HP DeskJet F4240 printer kept giving me messages like PDE plugin will damage your computer. I went to the HP website and downloaded their Uninstaller and Easy Admin installer. After uninstalling the software it said drivers were not available.

I use an HP DeskJet F4240 printer with my iMac. When trying to print I kept getting messages that PDE. plugin will damage my computer. The HP website had instructions to use their uninstaller to remove the software and easy admin to add software. When I tried to add the new software I found out it was unable to find drivers for my product. Is there a solution?

iMac 21.5″, macOS 11.1
