I've removed the /Library/Printers/hp folder several times and reinstalled the hp-printer-essentials-S-5_14_8_4.pkg that Bryan recommended multiple times following Bryan's instructions but the printer still doesn't work.

The job itself indicates 'Printing - Printing page 1 22% complete' before it changes to 'Printing - Waiting for printer to become available' When the file to be printed enters the printer queue, the status on the printer queue changes to 'Connecting to device'. I know the printer works because I connected an old Laptop with MacOS Capitan on it and was able to print without any problems. A popup appears with the message 'Transferring File' when using the TEST function, but nothing is printed.

However, if I attempt to print a TEST page from the Printer Utility, that doesn't work. However, I can use the Printer Utility to print out the printer configuration from the Device Information tab.

It is generating the error message 'Waiting for printer to become available'. Thanks to the information provided by BryanCustomPure, I was able to get the scanner working, but the printer is still not working. Like most of you, I have been experiencing printing and scanner problems since Friday Oct 23, 2020.
