Issue with Apple M1 Chip MacBook Air macOS Monterey 12.0.1

[ryzarabino]

Hi, I'm having issues installing my HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 2135 printer to my  Apple M1 Chip MacBook Air macOS Monterey 12.0.1.

Things I've tried:

1) Install the printer driver from hp. Result: prompts me to download HP Smart App.

2) Install the HP Smart App. Result: the app can detect my printer but cannot successfully connect it.

3) Run the HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.pkg. Result: prompts that it can only be opened for macOS 12.0 or below.

4) Add the printer manually from Printers & Scanners in system preferences. Result: it doesn't print.

I've seen several others with the same problem. It seems like it's a compatibility issue of Intel vs. Apple. Please help, I've practically tried everything on the Internet.

Have a look at this thread.

HP seem to ignoring the issue! No amount of firmware will get you past point 3.

It still doesn't work.

@SSC_UK It says that the .pkg from the linked thread cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. How do I give my macbook permission to access it? Thanks!

Make the installer yourself using the MacRumors instructions - and make sure you have the following setting as follows.
