HP driver framework broken in Catalina 10.15.7

Newer printers support so called 'driverless technology' and should be OK. However with the chip set coming I would buy something VERY new to make sure you have good length of support. Older ones need a driver. Try setting the CP3525DN up with a generic postscript driver and see if you can at least get some functionality back. HTH
However I have just finished downloading the following update for my 4025 and this has worked!
hp-printer-essentials-S-5_14_8_4.pkg this has a 2025 certificate attached so should be good for a while

Sorry double post. Is this only affecting HP printers? My printer (CP3525dn) is no longer supported by HP and it may be time to upgrade to a model that supports wireless. I don't want to get a new printer and end up in the same spot....

See my two answers above. Yes HP, Amazon and a few other have been blocked in a silent malware update from Apple. There is speculation that the certificate is out of date on the HP software or has been revoked.
This update worked for me! Thanks very much; I was going nuts yesterday.
Hi folks, with me also suddenly printing to my HP CP4025DN printer stopped working. Tried everything to reinstall drivers but no solution. Called with HP for 45 minutes and found out that printing from my iPhone with HPSmart worked! So the printer is not broken!
Called withj Apple support and thet acknoleged that there were serveral

...I finished before ending my post...
...several folks that had the same issues with printing to HP printers. They were working on a update, and I did not have to upgrade to Catalina because this was also causing the same problems

The update above will work for your printer and with Catalina. This is not a catalina problem
Hi there, I downloaded EasyAdmin but my printer is not supported to get new software to download...
We have exactly the same printer and it is now working using that update. Did you re-install the printer as well as installing the update?
Well, I assume that I have to install this, remove my installed printer and then install it again
I have an old HP 8150 Photosmart printer that stopped printing on Oct. 23. HP had a new driver on their website specifically for Catalina 10.15 which I downloaded and installed, but that did not solve the printing error. I tried one of the recommendations made previously in this thread to download the generic PCL driver from System Preferences, and that worked!! I only need B&W printing so not sure photos are going to work, but OK for now!!
I trawled Hp support, Apple community Forums and the internet in general. We have 8 HP printers for the team. It was looking like Monday was going to be a VERY bad day. Often there's some serendipity in finding these things - glad to have helped.
Same issue here (HP envy 5540). Hope Hp resolve this issue fast, as the pop-up is incredibly annoying - and it keeps showing on... I'll have to remove all HP software...
install the update mentioned above. Did you bother to read the thread!

There is a fix for many people. Read the thread.
Do you know if Mac is likely to fix this and restore compatability? My HP Photosmart B110 printer/scanner was working perfectly two days ago until I upgraded to 10.15.7 Now nothing works at all. The printer is a bit old so is it now obsolete? Is there anyone at Mac to contact?
Perhaps you should read the thread above
using the hp-printer-essentials-S-5_14_8_4 update
I have an HP LaserJet 2420d that has been working perfectly until yesterday. I tried the suggestions using the generic printer and the message I get are "unable to verify the printer on your network" and "The printer may not exist or is unavailable at this time". HP no longer has drivers for this printer but I have been using it since I upgraded to OS 10.15.7 without any issues. It is an old printer (1988) that has been a very reliable workhorse. I upgraded it this year(for the second time in it's life history) to new rollers and some kind of electronic board that comes with the new roller plus it was professionally installed. I use this printer very much and this is the first time I have ever had an issue trying to print. This is so frustrating because it seems that Apple or HP seems to be playing dirty tricks, which I do not appreciate.
