    I recently updated to Sonoma, and that reset the "downloaded from the internet" popup for every application that isn't from the App Store.

    Install HP printer with driver, only (not HP Smart app)?

    I need to install an HP inkjet printer for a client. Is there a way to do so without the HP Smart app? I hate these utility apps that are really mostly adware. The computer is running macOS Sonoma.
