Notification from Apple re ending for intel-based apps

[organicbob]

 

 

My HP Photosmart 5524 app is Intel based. I have recently had this repeating message from Apple telling me that   it will not work with future releases of MacOS. Apparently I need an update to silicon or universal version. I have no idea how to do that!

Hi @organicbob,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

I hear that your HP Photosmart 5524 Printer is getting an error: Support Ending for Intel-Based Apps. 

Follow these steps to safely remove the message and keep your printer working:

Step 1: Remove the Legacy HP Software:

1. Open the Finder and click on Applications.
   
   
2. Look for any HP folders (such as HP, Hewlett-Packard, or HP Smart).
   
   
3. Drag these folders to the Trash and empty the trash.

Step 2: Set up your Printer with macOS Built-in Drivers:

Because older HP printers do not have Apple Silicon-compatible apps, macOS handles the printing via Apple's native AirPrint. 

1. Click the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen and select System Settings (or System Preferences on older Macs).
   
   
2. Scroll down and click on Printers & Scanners.
   
   
3. If your HP Photosmart 5524 is listed, select it and click Remove Printer or - to delete it.
   
   
4. Click Add Printer, Scanner, or Fax or the + button.
   
   
5. Select your Photosmart 5524 from the list.
   
   
6. In the Use or Print Using drop-down menu, choose AirPrint or Secure AirPrint. (Do not select the older "HP" driver option).
   
   
7. Click Add. 
   
   

I hope this will help.

Take care and have a good day.
