Printing generates several complaints about frameworks.

[gap-TN]

After upgrading to Mac Monterey, print requests (from any app) generate several complaints about frameworks. It prints anyway, but only after I've acknowledged each of the complaints in sequence. Similar experiences in the past required updates to printer SW, which sometimes required an un-install of the current SW. 

So I'm at HP.com trying to figure out what needs to be upgraded. I've been referred to the App Store, where I can't find what HP told me to look for. Only semi-relevant help that the virtual agent found had to do with Mac OS Sierra, and none of the details exist in Monterey, or in this printer's version of HP Utility. It's only JUST out of warranty, so it's not that old, and shouldn't be this hard to find.
Any suggestions?

@gap-TN, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

I understand you are not able to print from Mac due to these errors. 

To assist you better,

• Which application are you trying to print from?
• Have you tried printing different types of documents like PDF, Word, or Webpages and check if the issue persists?

Update the printer firmware

Click here to download and install the latest printer firmware from your Mac.

Click here to know different methods of updating printer firmware.

Also, check for any software updates on Mac

Click the Apple icon > About This Mac > Software Update and install any available update.

Kindly follow the steps mentioned in this document - A [software component] will damage your computer message displays when printing or while installing ...

If the error persists, we can install the printer using AirPrint driver. Let me know how it goes.

Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.

First of all, I *was* able to print, as originally stated, it's just that I had to acknowledge 5 warning messages about the frameworks for every print job. Secondly, the same behavior occurred from more than one application. Thirdly, the provided link "A [software component] will damage your computer message displays when printing or while installing ..." goes to a page that says it is for earlier versions of the Mac OS than Monterey. On the plus side, this page did contain a link to an HP un-installer, which is something I had searched for already in the support database (I've been thru similar upgrades/installs before, and an un-installer is a fairly common step) but the search yielded no relevant results.

I downloaded the un-installer and ran it, then I downloaded and ran the EasyStart package from the update page you also provided (although that one had been easy to find myself). At least one print job has succeeded with no complaints, and indeed, when I look up the frameworks, they have all been updated today. So the problem appears to be solved. 

May I suggest y'all do something to make the un-installer more accessible? Possibly re-tag it so the database search can find it, or link to it on the download pages, with a note that it may be required under some circumstances. Either way, the semi-knowledgeable will have a shorter route to a possible solution.
