hp printer drivers for mac os 12.0.1 ?

I am trying to get an HP DeskJet 3050 to work. I can send a print job to the print queue, which on the software side looks like it's spooling up and going through the printer, the queue is cleared, then nothing prints out.

I have tried using the generic drivers, the HP DeskJet drivers (non-specific), and I downloaded the HP printer drivers from https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1888

When I open the pkg inside the disk image, it tells me I need Mac OS 12.0 or earlier.

Any help?

Running Mac OS Monterey 12.0.1 on a mid 2015 15" MacBook Pro.

Unplug power cord and usb from your printer and from the Mac too for about 2 minutes turn off your Mac then plug back in thdd es usb and power cord to your printer and turn it on while turning back in your Mac go to system preferences printers and scanners look if the printer is there if not add it manually like this

UPDATE: Problem solved, with caveat

This solution on the hp forum worked for my Deskjet 3054 (Deskjet 3050 J610 series): https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Setup-Software-Drivers/Solution-to-install-Mac-OS-12-0-1-drivers-link-attached/m-p/8236325

The downside is I had to install unsigned software, which is a security risk. I'm frustrated that apple doesn't just make something official available.
