MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012 - 2015) MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2012 - 2015) MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015–2017). HP ScanJet Pro 2500 f1 Flatbed Desktop Scanner - Next Gallery Image; HP ScanJet Pro 2500 f1 Flatbed Desktop Scanner. $299.95 All Colors. HP Easy Scan Saved the Day I downloaded HP Easy Scan to my new iMac Pro and once the download completed and the App opened, I went to devices on my computer and clicked on my office 'HP OfficeJet Pro 8600' Icon - immediately my computer started downloading a new print driver file.
Your Mac does not have malware, it's just got printer drivers that HP mistakenly asked Apple to block. Here's how to work around the problem.
Hewlett Packard has now explained the recent spate of Mac printer problems that saw users being warned of 'malware' — but it hasn't yet solved it. While HP and Apple are reportedly working together to resolve the issue, users are still being prompted with warnings saying it 'will damage your computer.'
'We unintentionally revoked credentials on some older versions of Mac drivers,' said a HP spokesperson. 'This caused a temporary disruption for those customers and we are working with Apple to restore the drivers. In the meantime, we recommend users experiencing this problem to uninstall the HP driver and use the native AirPrint driver to print to their printer.'
As previously reported, AirPrint is the answer if you need to actually print anything out. To get rid of the repeating error message, though, you may still need to take certain steps.
- Go to System Preferences
- Click on Printers & Scanners
- Choose your HP printer from the Printers list on the left
- Click the minus sign at bottom left
- In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Printers/hp
- Drag the printer driver to the trash
- Go back to System Preferences
- Click on Printers & Scanners if it doesn't open at that
- Click the plus sign at bottom left and re-add the printer
To go the ~/Library/Printers/hp folder, go to the Finder and choose Go, Go to folder.. from the menus. Or press Command-Shift-G.
This will clearly delete the printer driver, but what it then does is force your Mac to download a new copy. Once you've re-added the printer, it will be using the new, updated driver and should work correctly.
These steps should fix the issue because HP has effectively undone its mistake. According to The Eclectic Light Company, the problem was that what HP asked Apple to do was revoke its security certificate for the file 'HPDeviceMonitoring.framework.' In theory, then, this can just be un-revoked.
However, The Eclectic Light Company says that at time of writing, users are still reporting what appear to be related problems. Best creative software for mac. If you're in that situation, there currently seems no better alternative than contacting HP support.

Hello apple ohana,
It sounds like you are unable to print from your MacBook Pro to your HP Photosmart 7525. I found an article with steps you can take to troubleshoot printer issues on a Mac:

Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
- Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer's control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
- Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
- Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
- Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
- Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
- Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
- If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
- Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Additional Information
Note: If your printer is wireless-capable, you should first add the printer to your network. Use the printer's control panel, or temporarily connect the printer to your Mac via USB. For more details, see this article.
