I continue to get this message " HPDM Framework will damage your computer". I have worked with an Apple support rep and we could not resolve this issue. I can not print anything! I am running Catalina 10.15.7 on my Macbook Air and have an Office Jet 4630. Any advice for a possible solution?

Thanks to KommIT (message 81 in this chain)
I am running Catalina version 10.15.7 and an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer.
I downloaded HP Easy Start and then selected Uninstall HP Software from the main menu. Once that completed, Easy Start opened and I selected "setup a new device" and then followed the prompts. When the process completed I was able to print a test page AND scan a test page.
All is well and everything works perfectly!

Pasting the response I used that worked from Cat27. Link included.
Here's the steps I followed -
Go to Finder on your MAC (device), Applications, and move any HP applications to trash. I had two - Utilities and Easy Start.
Also from finder, in the search field, I typed in framework and any files relating to HP, HPDM framework, move them to trash
Delete all trash.
Restart your compute
Now update your software using HP Easy Start-
1. Download HP Easy Start
2. Follow the prompts for setting up your printer. When you get to the software downloaded open file and follow HP instructions. I chose Essential and Easy Start, as they suggested. Follow all their instructions. You don't have to re-register your device if it's already registered.
3. Once complete I chose to restart my computer again, then test printed and scanned a few documents. I can now print and scan and do not get the pop ups anymore. Time will tell.
I believe that's al - all the best !!
