I recently updated my MacBook Pro to Sequoia, 15.4.1. And since then my OfficeJet, pro 9020 printer no longer works. I have unpaired it in the settings from the printer and re-added it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app from the Mac store. When I tried to open the smart app for HP, it immediately shuts down. I have tried all of the suggestions that I have seen to do, and none of it has worked.
P.S. HP, Sequoia is the newest Mac operating system and you all do not have it listed in the operating system drop-down menu. Which tells me that you all are likely the problem.

HP Print and Scan Doctor:
- Although this tool is primarily for Windows, you might consider checking for HP-specific troubleshooting tools or updates specifically for macOS on the HP Support Page.
