I have two printers connected to my Mac Book Pro and after a recent update I am no longer able to print from my HP 1200. I receive the following message when I try to print: "hp PostProcessing bundle" will damage your computer.


What do I need to do to be able to print from my HP 1200 printer?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.1

HP de-authorized a whole raft of its Printer Drivers, and they need to be replaced.


You will need to delete your existing print Queues (they will never work anyway) that use the de-authorized Drivers. HP suggests you then need to UN-Install these drivers using its Un-Installer app, described in the HP article cited below.


At that point, trying to create a new Printer in the Add-A-Printer dialog is intended to have MacOS download and install the correct drivers. Sometimes this does not work, and manual download of drivers is required.
