Can't add 7955e to Mac with Error saying "Bad file descriptor" for MAC 12.6 (Monterey)

[cutejecy]

I tried 2.4 band (turn off 5.0 band) and installed the smart hp app. Non of them works for my MacOS error (Only can use my iphone 14 to access the printer. Also, the HP smart App will auto shut off after I tried to add a printer into it. (It just shut off after loading ring ran for about a minute. )

I can't run the firmware update (as it can't add printer.) I checked the printer firmware, it is the latest model 2225b. 

Any way I can fix this and use my Mac to print? (I can connect to Direct wifi print. But it is just way too much effort that you have to connect to that every time you need to print a piece of paper.
