One or more components of the HP printing software are corrupted or missing. The print job cannot be completed. To fix this situation, HP recommends reinstalling the print driver software.  I am not able to re-install.  Please......please....give me someone I can speak with.  Virtual agent is not helpful.

I've spent hours on this issue. It appears that the HP Drivers do not work with Catalina 10.15.7. Their driver package security certificate has expired and the code sign is out of date for HP Utility. Until HP issues an updated driver, which they may not do because it mostly affects older printers, you can either try to go back to an earlier version of Catalina or buy a new printer.

 

I know that if I'm going to buy another printer, it won't be an HP nor a Samsung.
