Same as the 1,000,000's of other users of HP printers that now no longer work after updating to Mac OS 11.0.1

 

Please can HP acknowledge the problem and give us a timetable as to its rectification 

 

Thanks

This upgrade made my Laser Jet 1200 unusable with no driver seeming to be available. Looking for a solution from HP or Apple.

Hi,

Please follow below version of HP Easy Start, as soon as it launches open the top HP Easy Scan menu and select Uninstall HP Software.

This docent resolve the issue.

HP smart can retrieve all information from the printer over my network but it still says the printer is not installed and refuses to print

HP Recommended

Unfortunately my Laser Jet 1200 is not among the available drives when i go through those steps.

HP Recommended

We can initiate a scan with this software, see the ink levels and get printer information across the network

BUT

we still can't print because there is no driver for OS 11.0.1 Big Sur

Our Printers were working before upgrading our Mac software, so this is a HP driver issue.

When will this be acknowledged and a functional driver supplied ?

PLEASE, my HP3050 until one month ago was great!
