Cannot fix scan problems

[splitsecond]

Hello I  have had the HP Lazer Jet Pro Color MPF 276nw for years. I  use a Mac and never had any issues. I kept getting "this software will destroy your computer etc."  for the first time several days ago. I called mac and told them I have OS 10.15.6. I downloaded the June 2020 HP driver easy admin.. After an hour on the phone with support, I had to click through each warning message and I could print. The scanner does not work. I updated to MAC OS 10.15.7 but it did not fix the problem. They told me to contact HP, but I went around in circles there just trying to get help and see if there was an update that will fix this issue.

The mac advisor said  to contact HP to see if there was an up date. Thanks for any insight- Love this device and need to scan 🙂

Hi

I did this process before and keep getting a series of pop-up warning windows about various framework damaging my computer. After clicking  through them via the OK button, I can print.  The printer test printed (Printing is enabled). The was no Search for Updates in Easy install. I got the page online that says installation successful. I can print, but every time, I have to click through the warning pop-ups. Same with the scanner however the waiting for scanner spinning icon never stops.

How do I get the pop-ups to stop and the scanner to connect? Many thanks
