                   Code-Signing Snafu Breaks Many HP Printers

   Josh Centers

   An unfortunate code-signing mixup has [1]broken printing to many HP
   printers for users of macOS 10.14 Mojave and 10.15 Catalina. HP
   unintentionally revoked the security certificate for some older printer
   drivers, causing macOS to warn that the drivers are malware and
   preventing printing. Some have assumed the fault lay with Apple, but an
   HP spokesperson told The Register that it was actually HP that revoked
   the credentials. HP is working with Apple to restore the certificates,
   but in the meantime, the company recommends uninstalling the HP driver
   and using the native AirPrint driver instead. One TidBITS reader also
   said he resolved the problem by removing his old drivers from System
   Preferences > Printers & Scanners and then downloading and reinstalling
   new drivers from [2]HP's support site.
