Product: HP Deskjet 2540

I am running a Mac with a recent installation of Sur.  I received notification of updates from the App Store but the Smart Desktop would not install.  

 

I have followed instructions for a failed install and run the uninstall file as suggested, but now cannot reinstall the software at all from neither HP's own download section or the App Store.  I now have no printer connected to my computer!
